One thing to keep in mind is that a number of well known battery brands are all manufactured by the same company, Johnson Controls:

Yup, I have seen a couple of them go bad after a year or too, BUT I have seen many more last a long time. Every brand will have their bad apples but that is what the warranty is for.

Like Jakey said though Johnson Controls makes batteries for many many companies. Optima, Ever Start, Die Hard, Ford, etc... They are the leading manufacturer with batteries and produce some really good products.

I suggest Die Hard but I am a little biased since I sell them.

EDIT: Here is a link to all Johnson Controls batteries. There have been recent changes though with companies they own and will probably be adding more to their lineup.
