I've had a couple of Deka batteries, one in a off-road vehicles that take a lot of shock and vibration abuse that held up well. Another one in my Sierra. Both were good.

I wouldn't buy anything made by Johnson Controls, especially their Optima brand

I currently have an Odyssey battery in my truck - it solved all the issues of trying to get a modern 12V battery in the 6V hole in the floor. I had an Odyssey in another offroad vehicle too (turbo Subaru sandrail) and the car would always start after sitting off season for six months without a tender then run all dune season with no issues - it did that for six years.
