Battery Exide or Duralast
I've also had great luck with AutoZone's Duralast Gold/Platinum batteries and they have better warranty than most others as well.
Pros: great reliability, good warranty
My last battery was a Duralast Gold and it lasted 7 years.
Pros: lasted 7 years
Picked up a Duralast Gold from Autozone back in July for my GLI. $155 after returning the OEM battery for the core refund.
Pros: core refund
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
OK so today I picked up a battery from EuroCarParts, not a pukka VW one but a 100AH Exide Premium one with 5 year warranty. I've had good luck with Exide before so I was happy to go with it
Pros: good price, 5 year warranty
Cons: pig to get in
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
I had my battery moment on my 2011 Outback, I bought a Duralast Gold 640 CCA and it's been working fine ever since.
Pros: working fine ever since
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Just replaced a Duralast (Autozone?) yesterday in my Silverado. It was from 11/09. It had a pretty good run in several vehicles of mine.
Pros: pretty good run
Vehicle:

Went to Autozone and purchased there Duralast platinum, full 5 year replacement warranty for around $145. I installed it myself and had to reset the windows. Great since.
Pros: full 5 year warranty
installed new Exide EK950 AGM 95AH to replace same model been there 3years. No change, and also former battery checks to be in nearly new condition still with measured 90AH capacity from fully charged to 10,5v 9hours with 10Amp load.
Pros: nearly new condition
Cons: no change
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
Part number: EK950 AGM
we see many 2 year old Duralast batteries that have failed.
Cons: failed after 2 years
I had a duralast battery that I had originally bought for my beater mk2 that ended up in the Corrado, it then let go last week after only 11 months. I would go with the Bosch at all costs.
Cons: let go after 11 months
