The replacement battery that Lexus (and Toyota) dealers sell, in the US and probably Canada too, is made by Johnson Controls. I'd expect a similar lifespan to that Interstate battery from Costco you were considering.
The original battery in your car was likely a Panasonic. In addition to terrific durability, those Japanese Panasonic battery have translucent sides so you can see the electrolyte level without removing vent caps.
