Default What's a good aftermarket battery?

I'm through with the POS Motorcraft one so I'm gonna upgrade to an aftermarket one. I don't plan on adding anything power or music wise (I have an X-Charger, Pioneer AVIC-Z2 HU, and Infinity Kappy speakers w/ the Shaker 500 door subs). Anyways what would be a good battery to upgrade to? Thanks!

Odyssey 680-- 17 lbs lighter than your stock battery. Don't ask me about how good it is though, haven't tried it

Just replaced the Sears Diehard Silver in my Cutlass last weekend that I installed in December 1999.
