You can't ask softball questions like that and expect an answer that you can use. :) Everyone is going to reply back that the battery they purchased for their own car is the "best." This is the same physiology behind every parent saying that their baby is the most beautiful in the world. Car parts have another dimension in that usually the more someone pays for a part, the more emphatically they think its the "best."
If you can give us some actionable information, you might get some better help and some more economical alternatives. How are you going to use the car? How often do you drive it? How long do you expect to own the car? How cold does your climate get? What kind of aftermarket accessories do you have?
95% of batteries out there are all the same. In general, they are a commodity that gives you choices in longevity/warranty, cranking capacity, cycle type, service,(sealed/vs. unsealed) and form factor. (Most companies purchase the battery and then slap their own label on the front.) From there, we have Optima batteries, which are a newer patented/expensive design that may be overkill for some applications.

If you choose the Optima Redtop or Yellowtop and there is an Advance Auto parts near you go onto there website and order it and choose instore pickup and if its still a working promo (it was 2-3 weeks ago when I bought mine) use promo code VISA it knocks 50 dollars off any order over 150, if you go with another battery try the promo BATX
(gets 25% off Battery purchases over $99.99 or get 20% off battery purchases $99.99 and under) I got my redtop for like 140.
Also there is promo code P20 that gets you 20% off your orders.
