If you are not performing any intense g rated turns any battery that has a high cca is good enough, anything else is a waste of money.
Also, saving 20 pounds from a battery is useless on a daily driver unless you really want that small performance from the weight loss.

If you have a sound system, optima red top. If you just have a stock car, mazda oem battery. I would only put in an optima if you need it, because they're very expensive.

The quality of Optima Batteries took a nose dive after they were sold to Johnson Controls about 6 years ago. Now they are producing them cheaply to be sold at every discount store they pretty much suck.
While I don't doubt it regained some capacity, coming up to full capacity is simply not physically possible. Storing ANY lead acid battery in a discharged state sulphates the battery, something that cannot be reversed. If you had done a capacity test when the battery was new, and then again after it sat and was recharged, you would have found that after sitting the battery had greatly reduced capacity.
