Fuse or Breaker recommendations

Hello,
I have six 100AH 12v batteries wired in parallel with 00AWG wire. I have one line coming off of one pole to a 250A DC breaker (ordered from here, love it) that then leads to a 3000 watt continuous pure sine wave inverter
What has been recommended to me here before is to rewire this, having all the positive poles go to a common positive, and having a fuse on each battery between it's pole and the common positive. I'd like to reuse my existing cabling.
Can someone recommend a fuse that accepts large lugs? Or should I just get several small DC breakers? Perhaps several 50A or 75A breakers?
I'd prefer to get NAWS breakers if possible because the one I have got in the past was great and accepted the large lug size without issue.

I ended up getting three Blue Seas products to get this done.

@mike95490 Thank you for pointing me to this stuff. My largest problem is how much I don't know about available electrical hardware, I didn't even know what a terminal fuse block was until you brought it up. Again, thank you.
