I 2nd this advice, on the basis of our friends at Consumer Reports.  They 
tested 'em all, and Interstate (if I remember right) was the top-rated 
battery, all-around.  I put a 650CCA Interstate in my Jetta to replace 
the dilapidated Autobahn, which constantly leaked (only 2 1/2 years, 60K 
miles).  So far, the Interstate, well, works fine (don't ever notice 'em 
unless they don't, no?).
