I use the Sears Diehard Platnum. Well worth it.

Default i went with an optima

I went with the yellow top optima, but a lot of people are recommending the die hard platinum. I suggest you list the factors involved in your decision (ie) cost, types of use such as winch, lights, air, etc and some people will give you some really good feedback.

I am partial to Optima Yellow Top. I have heard good things on a certain Sears battery though.

Odyssey, Sears Platinum or Optima Yellow top really can't go wrong with any of them. Just will come down to price and warranty.

What i would like to do is run a Yellow top Optima as a second battery for all my toys because of the deep cycle.
