Get what you can afford, I wouldn't get the basic battery at Wally Mart, Get the upgraded one, C5s are known to be ruff on batterys.

I had the cheapest battery from Autozone when I bought my car and it worked great. When it was time to replace it I got the same one.

If it sits for a while keep it on a maintainer like the Ctek and you will be fine.
