CTEK 800 works best for me. I have a CTEK 3300 but don't like it as well. Have to set what voltage you want. My 3300 doesn't always want to set the first time. Have to run though the settings a couple times to get it to work. With the 800 just plug it in and works every time.

If you have a manual and an LS2 C6, park the car with the reverse gear engaged otherwise your batter WILL die. I believe on LS3 M6s they may have fixed this problem. However it's still best practice to park in reverse anyway.
Parking in reverse helps save your car if the hand brake fails. Also, parking in reverse (for C6s specifically) turns off certain sensors that would normally drain the battery.
