New battery - where and what to buy?

Well, the original battery on my '98 GSR finally kacked this morning, and i'm in need of a new one asap - anybody got any suggestions on where to pick one up that's an upgrade from an OEM replacement? Basically, i'm wondering if there's any significant cost/benefit as opposed to spending $100 on a crappy tire special. I'm not running a crazy audio set up...

Thanks for your time

motomaster 72 for integras is like 700CCA, 6 year warranty and 2 year replacement warranty.... and trade in your old battery for a rebate too.

He was willing to get me one that same day, he's about as dependable as a blind mans dog.

i can beat that hands and feet down. how bout any type of battery with whatever cranking rating you desire for aroud $25-$30 (optima's excluded) and i'll even throw in an almost infinite warranty if you ever come back to me with a problem.

Especially with any one of you on the boards here i'll strive to meet your battery needs. being in the position i am, it's awesome that i can help you all out. it makes me feel all warm and tingly inside knowing that my batteries are going to good homes and to good people.

you're all like family to me *sniffle*

...

but enough of all that. anyone who ever wants a battery that doesn't know already...they're $28.75 for any type with any rating. i back all the batteries and i'll take care of any problems any of you may have.
