what optima should i get?

ok i'm not sure what optima battery to get i know the red top is a starter battery and the yellow top is a deep cycle battery, but after reading the faqs from optima i'm still not sure which one to put in my car...any suggestions? i have decent system 1000wt fosgate amp pushing two 12's, underbody neons installed(second set on the way) separate disc changer in the trunk and mobile video coming this summer...i'm leaning towards the deep cycle, but it seems to me that it fits under the red-top description use...what do you guys think red or yellow?

Yellow. It's supposed to hold up to draining and recharging without incurring any damage hence the name "deep cycle". I got one and have had it for over 2 years no problem.
