Default suggestions for car battery?

i think it's about time i replace my car battery. it has 141,xxx miles on it, and about 7 years. what's a good brand for normal, everyday use? i don't care about weight savings or any of that jazz. something that will last like my current one is fine. thanx.

optima batteries are kinda expensive,..if you are not running alot of stereo equipment and shit like that,..a 40 dollar battery from autozone or advance should suffice

none of the optima's will fit in the 3rd gen integra's if i did my research right, not even the red top...your gonna have to modify the mounting area and what not if you want it to fit

i just got a diehard from sears last year...
