For what it's worth, I have the Duralast you get from Autozone.  I've
really abused my battery (mostly through alternator problems) and it's
stood the test of time okay.  I don't know if these are really high
quality batteries, but the best part, though, is that Autozone will
replace your battery on warranty without a receipt and from any Autozone
location---very convenient if you find yourself needing a battery not
where you started... (they might also sell the optimas?)
