If you haven't made the purchase yet, I'd look at the NAPA Legend. At least one of the car care radio shows in our area recommends this battery. CTScott also uses this battery. IIRC = about $105.00.

I have the NAPA Legend in two of mine. They are a great battery for the price and are made by Deka.

The Optima Red Top is a great battery as well, so even though it is twice as much, by the nature of its design it should last about 1.5x the life of a traditional configuration battery like the Legend.
