I've had good use out of Champions (Exide) from Advance. Over the past 15 years, every one I've put in my or a relative's vehicle has given at least 6 years service before it gave a hint of going south. Comparable return policy to Sears, Autozone, etc.
When Chrysler was making the 05 and 06 diesel Jeep Libertys, they had Johnson Controls make an oddball-sized Optima Red Top to their specs - ie, CHEAP!! Quite a few Jeep CRD owners found out literally within months of buying their brand new vehicles (myself included) that these Mopar-speced Red Tops had an annoying habit of shorting out one or more cells. I replaced mine with a Champion Group 34/78 from Advance. 4 years later, it's still going strong with more than enough oomp to kick that diesel over.
