Not a big difference in price / performance between the different brands (at least for a standard battery). Check online with the auto parts stores that you have nearby to compare brands / prices. Make sure they offer a decent warranty for the first 2-3 years in case you get a dud. A good one will replace it free of charge if it dies within the first year or two, then offer a prorated discount for another year or two.

Bring in your old battery (or drive the car there and swap it out in the parking lot) in order to avoid the 'core charge'.
