Youll want the deep cell for winching, pretty much any of them will handle starting and low draw light use. I do think optima batterys are crap tho, and wont ever spend the $ on another.
There are to many better options out there, you just have to shop around. I didn't get cought up on name brands when replacing my optima. I just got the best battery I could from a local parts place where I have friends on the inside. This way I can get replacements when the lead plates break from inpacts, and cause a cell to go dead.
I must have gone through 5 cheapos in 2 years, and the optima only lasted 1 1/2. I have been using my current gell filled batt for the last 3+ and have only replaced it once, 3 months after I got it.
