Time to replace my battery - which to buy?

Hi -

My 95 Max is starting to hesitate when I turn the key, and I think it's because of the old battery (bought the car used recently). I was going to just head down to Sears or NTB or whatever, but I figured you all would have some thoughts on the subject. I don't want to blow a lot of money on this (No Optoma Yellow Tops, please!), but if there are clear reasons to go with so and so Diehard or whatever, let me know!

Thanks!

Did you test your battery first? Ya might want to do it before you spend $$ on a battery. AutoZone even does free battery tests.

I haven't - thanks for the suggestion. I suspect it, as it started happening when the weather got cold, and it's worse the longer the car goes without being run, but I will have them check it out at autozone first... I'm headed there anyway for hood struts and oil...
