As long as you get a battery with a good warranty, you should have no problems. Just make sure you get the equal or greater CCA (Cold Cranking Amp) rating.
Diehard International is good
Tozo got an energizer battery that came with free jump starting. Thats a nice feature.
Also, check audipages. There is a write up on how to change the battery using an exide battery. Exide is a good brand also.

Same battery but 1/2 the price. The only difference is that i have solid brass connectors instead of gold connectors.
