Battery Suggestions?? 850 1994

Oh my poor 1994 850 Turbo Wagon (miles 155K+) - it's been through a lot this summer from AC problems (and fixes) to brakes to the good ol' timing belt replacement (that went fine except the pulleys for the serpentine belt busted because they were not replaced ... but that's another story, with a happy ending).... but I ramble ...

I've been having the weird starting problems (whenever it's hot, and I drive for a relatively short distance with the AC on and then run a short errand, it refuses to start --- sometimes it takes 15 minutes of rest for it to start, other times over 8 hours) for the last two months, this issue has popped up on the board several times ... Well, in my case, it appears the problem is the battery. It died today.

So, fellow Brick owners - what is the best battery for your money? Does brand matter? Any specs I need to keep in mind when making the purchase? Should I just go to Wal-Mart?

Thanks in advance!
