My battery died recently and I replaced it with the Optima Red Top. It's a great battery and I got it from Summit Racing for about 130 bucks plus shipping.
A little high but it will outlast most any battery out there. Sure you can go Duralast or even a K-Mart or Walmart brand but remember you get what you pay for.

Actually, it will give you a lot more than that over your dead battery
