Why use t2 instances of t2.large or larger? The price difference to go to m5 instances is negligible[1], and with m5 you don't have to worry about CPU credits and you get better networking.
[1] e.g., Linux on-demand for for t2.xlarge comes to $135.49/month, where as m5.xlarge is $140.16/month. I seem to remember last time I was doing reserved instance purchasing, the RI cost for m4 instances was actually less than equivalent t2 instances (I don't see it now, so maybe my memory is wrong).
