I've done OK with the ones from Costco. Go with a battery to fit the available dimensions. Due to advances in technology, one with the "proper" amp ratings will be smaller than the box. This lets you use a heftier battery than what the car was designed for. Be careful of the terminal arrangements. I was going to put the fairly new battery from my 61 Impala in the kid's 240, but the terminal arrangement was reversed from the battery in the car and the cables wouldn't reach. Turns out the "battery problem" was actually a "kid problem" with the dome light left on for extended periods.
