Honestly????

A battery is a battery is a battery. IMO, as long as you have the correct guage power wire and a cap you will do great with just about any battery. You might find that you will eventually need to replace the alternator if your stock one does not keep up, this you would have to do even if you spent the money to buy an over priced battery.

check whats available around your area. I tried to stick with around a 300 amp alternator with my big systems.
