Default New Batter Suggestions, 99ES3

Alright, I got my new head unit installed on Thursday (AVIC-F700BT) and it works amazingly. The only problem is that with the installation of my new headunit, came the realization that I need a new battery, as it will not hold enough charge overnight to get the HU up and running in the morning (and yes I already know it's the battery causing this).

What are some suggestions for a good battery? I know Optima makes excellent batteries, but they also cost both arms and your soul.

I have Interstate batteries for sale and they work very well. I have only tried Optima and Interstate batteries and they are both great. I am not sure how much they sell the Interstate batteries to public but I get them for $11 each. They last me a few years.
