I would stay away from the red tops. Go with a blue or yellow top optima. Red tops seem to have issues with discharging if they sit for a short period. Just get some measurements off your stock battery and match up to which one comes closest. As long as you get one that fits the mount you will be fine. CCA's will be higher than stock on pretty much any of them.
