Default Best battery for my situation?

What is the best battery I can get? I've got an x charged mustang with two gauges, then I've got a touchscreen DVD/cd player and a 10" sub in the trunk. My car is in storage now and I could see the battery was starting to go bad before I put it in storage. I would like a battery that comes with a good warranty program. Any input is appreciated. I live in mn and it gets cold here so it needs to be a strong battery. I've been storing the car this winter but I don't know if I will next winter or not... It sucks being away from it this long

Besides a decent battery, I'd also consider replacing the garbage OE alternator. Look into PA Performance alternators. Regardless of what a great battery you have, it'll go to chit fast with a degraded MotorCrap alternator.

Battery is the bucket. The loads are holes
in the bucket.
If the pump (alternator) cant fill it fast enough,
then no battery will work very good.
