I like Interstate, I've been running them for years in my cars and trucks. In my big trucks, I have three in one and four in the other and they are all about 12 years old now, still running good. Just a note though, they have spent the last few years in climate controlled bliss, but up until then, they started stubborn diesel engines in the coldest weather.
For you, I'd suggest getting a battery you feel comfortable with and plan on taking it out for the winter, storing it in your basement or garage where it won't see large temp. fluctuations and put a tender on it, it will last a very long time.
My blue car still has the battery I bought it with, its about 15 years old now, course I haven't tried to start the car yet this year, but I have been waiting for it to die, and it just laughs at me. And it's an everyready, probably a cheap department store brand.

I "trickle" charge all winter after pulling the battery out and sitting it on some carpat or a rubber pad. I check the acid once a month and after 4 years, I "pitch" them and get new!
