If you're still deciding, maybe take a look at Odyssey batts from Hawker. They're certainly more expensive, but worth checking out. They definitely have some very attractive features: drain/recharge without damage [400x], starter/deep cycle hybrid, low internal resistance (around 4 ohms, if not less), agm design (vibration resistant/proof), good lifespan (around 10 years) and so on. Ofcourse, this is from their literature.
I'll be putting one in my Concorde shortly.
However, from my research, you can't go wrong with the Orbital Exide from Canadian Tire.
(I've heard a rumour that Optima (or the makers of Optima) are rushing production and as such, quality is at a lower level than previous production. Whether this is true or not, who knows).
Do a search, as this topic has been discussed quite alot; it's how I made some of my decisions.
Cheers.

Canadian tire does not sell Optima products but Wal-mart does, but they may only have the Redtop which is a very good battery. You may have to go to a automotive specialty shop to get the yellow top. What is it that you are going to be running and with what size of wires?
