The spiral cell AGM batteries like the Optima are great,I have one in a farm pickup that has been used and abused for 15 years and still going strong as new. About 3/4 of my farm equipment now has spiral cell AGM batteries as I replace the conventional flooded batteries as they fail. Exide also sells one(spiral cell AGM) called the Orbital power, force reactor,also sold by JD as the JD spiral power battery. They seem equally as good as the Optima for less money,although the oldest one I have is only about 6 years old. Sure is nice to have somthing that does not corrode the terminals or battery box and hold down. About the only way to kill them is to seriously overcharge them with an unregulated hot charger where you boil away the little electrolyte contained in the glass mat plate dividers.
