Most of the batteries in the US are made by just a few companies. Any good quality battery of appropriate case size and amp-hours will work. Just remember that cheap batteries are cheap. However, the mid-priced and high-priced batteries differ mostly in the length of the warranty. They both will last about the same amount of time (5+ years if you're lucky), and the difference in cost is mostly in the length of the warranty that the vendor is offering. If they offer a 6-year warranty, they know they will get more batteries back than if they offer a 5 year warranty and set the price accordingly.
The other variable is the number of amp-hours. For the same size battery case, you'll spend more to get more amp-hours. If you live in a cold climate, more is generally better.
