Depends on your application.

You want v-mount: go with Odyssey PC680 b/c it'll most likely fit in the engine bay.
You want cheap: go with the standard battery.
You want fancy with enough juice: go with Optima.

All depends.

If you buy an optima do not get it from Autozone i've had bad luck with them. I heard the guy who designed the optima left them and designed a battery called orbital. I got one from NAPA and in my opinion way better than the optima i left my lights on for 4hrs at school and it still started right up.

A 51R battery is a good choice for use with a TurboJeff battery tray. You can get them at any auto parts store because they're OEM sized for some Hondas. I believe Fighter's Garage sells a complete slim-battery kit but I don't know what battery they use.
