red top will meet your needs unless you want to play your music for a LONG time without worrying about draning it. If you will be having the car on most of the time when you listen to music then the RED top will be fine. Unless you have a lot of LED's, and something taking a lot of power then i'd get the yellow if you'll be running them with the car off.

i had a red top in a blazer i had and i loved it. if i had to get another it would be a red top. i had 4 aux. 150w spot lights and used it on high beam and left it all on for a good while and when i went to crank it it started up without a hesitent.
