Battery threads are almost as bad as oil threads...
If it was me I would either get the dealer battery or I would call up my local Interstate Battery dealer and get a quote from them. Some people will say go to Costco or Sears or whatever which is fine, but the only problem with that is they don't sell the same batteries in every location. They sell whatever is made in that region. You can look at Consumer Reports but their results on batteries are usually all over the map. Also, freshness is very important. You want to check the date code which is usually stamped in it somewhere and make sure it is no more than 2 months old.
