When I get a new one, it'll probably be a Die Hard just because of the warranty.
My last battery was an Interstate and it lasted me about 6 years. So I just went with another Interstate. I got the 800 cold cranking amps with 85 month warranty for $135.00 without install from the manufacturer at a retail center. The install wasn't too bad at all. In hindsight I should have taken pics and written a tutorial. Saved me about $15.
Anyway you just take off the single plastic cover that runs across the top of both headlight assemblies, then take off the bar that holds the battery in place. Take the keys completely out of the ignition, just for fun. Now remove the negative/black lead, then remove the positive/red. There is one last bolt holding a rubber or plastic lip which also holds the battery in place. Now just put in the new battery and do everything in reverse order. If it makes you feel better you can wear gloves but I was able to do it with a metal ratchet and bare hands. I would say wearing eye protection would be ideal.
BTW I'm sure most of you know this, or at least could figure it out on your own. I just wanted to post something for the sake of reference.
