Short answer, the Odyssey Extreme Series 35-PC1400T was given the highest score of 99 out of 100 in Consumer Reports testing, at approximately $300 it's expensive. I usually buy the Walmart Everlast Maxx batteries, which usually have decent ratings are only about $100, with a 3 year full replacement warranty. Battery longevity is directly related to how well you maintain it. Keep it on a smart charger or disconnect it if it is not used regularly, frequently discharged batteries will not last as long as ones kept at optimal voltages. Lead-Acid batteries need to have the fluid level checked at regular intervals and topped off with distilled water if not at optimal level. Battery terminal connections need to be kept clean and corrosion free. AGM batteries have advantages over lead-acid batteries but are usually more expensive. An internet search on this subject will return a wealth of information, should you choose to go down that rabbit hole.
