Default 1996 GT - What Battery is Good?

Hey All!

Well, the battery has finally gone bad in my 96GT. What batteries are you guys running? I figured I'd just pick something up at Autozone or O'Reilley's. I have the stock size alternator and UDP's with the stock Mach 460 stereo (don't laugh... stereos aren't my thing).

Just thought I'd pop on and see what you guys might suggest. I'll be grabbing one in the next few days. I'll also be swapping out terminal cables as they're pretty nasty.

Thanks in advance!

I have an Optima red top. I've had it for 3 yrs, which is the full replacement warranty, and it's neve left me stranded.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll take a peek this weekend and see what they cost around here.

I appreciate it!
