Default Battery Help

I know its been beat to death, but my battery finally crapped out the other night. I run a decent sound system and a front mount turbo (a lot of heat), so what is a good battery that I can get and also possibly move to the rear in the future?

I had a Duralast in it since 08 and it was good till about 2 years ago when it started having bad cells.

Like mentioned above I want to eventually move it to the rear.

Please help.

How often do you drive it? I got a red top before realizing that my car sits in the garage for long periods of time. (I should have gone yellow - but so far, so good, on the red.)

Yellow here. No problems, I play my stereo LOUD for long periods of time off the battery when working on it and never drained it yet.
