We normally use Sears.  So far, we haven't seen the problem of "sudden
demise" you mentioned with a sealed battery-- although the standard
type that came with the car (a Sapporo) did just that, six months
before the warrantee expired.

One comment I would make is that you should get the biggest battery you
can wedge into the engine compartment, regardless of the engine size.
We have a 625-Amp on that little 2.6l engine, and could probably drive
to Portland on the starter motor.  Really simplifies cold starts.
