A few months ago I replaced the autozone battery with an optima red top. I've left the lights on twice for over half the day and the car still started right up. I'm really impressed with how strong the red top cranks.

Pros: strong cranks, starts after drain

Part number: 8003-151

I just ordered a Deka EXT20L, from what ive read everyone loves it. At $87 from Lowes its worth the gamble. Its a sealed AGM battery so it can be mounted anywhere, ill be putting it under the rear seat.

Pros: everyone loves it, sealed AGM

Part number: EXT20L

I use Red top Optima batteries in all my cars, I truly hate flooded lead acid batteries as they will leak at sometime in their life.

Pros: hate flooded lead acid

Cons: leak at sometime

So, I replaced it with a new optima battery anyways. Still have the issue.... Moved onto the car alternator. Tested it with my DVOM and it was giving out 13.7V at idle.
