there is no such thing as "best", it all depends on what youre looking for out of a battery (cranking power? deep cycle? dry cell?) and what budget you're working with.
Where do you live? I ask because the colder climate areas usually prefer something with lots of cranking power for those cold winter mornings.
I personally use an Optima Yellow Top but it's because I am running a lot of power out of it due to my stereo system.
Some people here buy optima Red Tops.
You could simply go with a Duralast Gold; I hear those are quite good.

Do you want to pay a premium
if not, just get Autozone's Duralast Gold, 3 yr warranty (Assume it does not go out of buz in 3 yrs) and 84 months (I think) prorate after
if u want the best cranking and/or you have a lot of speakers and ****, u might want a deep cycle battery like Die Hard or Optima (I think its made by the same company? or was it diff)
and get Group 35 Battery

Walmart sells different batteries, some of which are made by the same company (johnson controls) that makes optima, duralast, and kirkland, and others. I think that the Walmart Everstart Maxx is made by Johnson controls and the group 35 is only $75. Hard to beat that.
