Default CGT battery replacement

I need to replace my 4 year old battery for my CGT. Some say replace it with the OEM Porsche Battery. Some say a Interstate is just as good or better, I like to learn what has the owners here replace it with ?

battery is battery
I put in a AGM battery, less leakage worries.

I have Optima red tops 10+ years old in all my equipment, some on maintainers, some not, still strong. They don't outgas acid like flooded batteries, no corrosion, etc. Expensive, but worth it to be worry free.
