I'd suggest an Optima Gel battery.

If you do a search I think you will find that the Optima and Die Hard will be the most recommended. I went with the die hard based more on availablity of Sears stores in wierd areas of the country for warrentee replacement-but that hasn't been necessary.

I was told that the Costco batteries are as good as any major brand name. I have them in all 3 of our cars, Range Rover, Porsches, and BMW. All good so far, the Porsche original battery is one of the worst.

A recent review by I think Consumer Reports rated the Kirkland (Costco) battery as one of the best.
