If the one you already have is a maintainer (and not just a trickle charger) and has a way to connect through the accessory port then I recommend that.

You are correct its actually a maintainer .
I also bought a Ctek 40-206 MXS.
But it didn't come with a 12 volt charger .

If you need a new one, a Die-hard from Wallyworld is only about $30 and comes with 3 different connections including one that fits the aux. plug in the frunk. No need to pay $60-100 for a 2 amp 12V maintainer.

I direct wired mine to the battery with a Pigtail coming out under the hood by the wiper so that my hood stays closed completely all the time, plus with the pigtail wire on my driver's mirror it's hard to miss and forget vs coming out the passenger side. Just my choice.

Some good suggestions here, and I might add check the Parts for Sale section here - you might find a barely used OEM one for a good price.
