optima red top in my cavi. I payed 99.99 at remy for mine. I heard they were cheaper at batteries plus but i havent looked myself. Also check out autozone/ farm n fleet they also have them.

I'm also in for the redtop... I can't remember if they have different sizes... It's been about two years with the one I have now...

I work at Johnson Controls, Inc. JCI manufactures the Optima battery. I grabbed some info from Marketing:

REDTOP
34/78
75/25
25
34
34R
35
6V

YELLOWTOP
D34/78
D75/25
D34
D35
D51
D51R
D31T
D31A

The red top batteries have more Cold Cranking Amps than the the yellow top batteries. If you guys ever have any battery questions, shoot me a PM.
