I went for the OReilly battery for that exact reason. If something happens there will likely be somewhere close by to swap it out.

I went into some serious detail in a PM and a battery thread somewhere recently but I'll give you the short version of my opinion here...
AGM for sure (I think you've already decided this though).
Sears Platinum I've heard good things about, however, I went with the Auto Zone battery simply for availability reasons (any common parts store would work). Case and point is this: If you're at an event and you end up killing a battery, what are the odds that there's a Sears nearby your wheeling spot compared to there being an Auto Zone, Advance, O'Reilly, Napa, etc? The ease of getting one replaced anywhere I am in the country was my #1 reason for NOT going with a Sears battery.

Elbert said:I'm not a autozone fan but one point to consider is that they track their warranty / receipts by your phone number....so you don't need the paper copy to prove ownership or establish warranty coverage...they simply look your phone number up in their database.....in any store. I generally deal with NAPA, but when you are out of town.....that becomes a problem...say for example your battery or other item covered under NAPA fails...and you don't have a paper trail with you.
Things to consider....
