I've had great luck with the Optima Yellow Top DS46B24R for Gen2.

Part number: DS46B24R
I've run Optima red tops for years and never had a problem.
Pros: reliable, no issues
Ended up finding a red top in the back of the store at Advanced (34R with 800CCA). If you go with Optima know that it takes some modification with the wiring. I needed to remove a cable tie and relocate one of the positive leads. Outback started right up and is running great.
Pros: starts reliably, runs great
Cons: requires wiring modification
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback

I’ve had an Optima Red Top in my 2012 JK Rubicon for about 8 years. My mechanic recently said the battery is on its way out, and now the Jeep is struggling to turn over. I’ve heard Optima’s quality has dropped since I bought mine.
Pros: lasted 8 years
Cons: struggling to turn over, quality dropped
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
Optima batteries suck as of the parent company’s sale about 10 years ago. Dead battery rate tripled in our fleet of cop cars (used for driving instruction).
Cons: high dead battery rate
Think my optima red top is about to give out, it's draining down overnight in the cold
Cons: draining overnight, giving out
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
I used an Optima, never again.
Cons: not recommended
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
