Default Need new TPMS

I was wondering if someone could recommend the best place to purchase new tpms for my 04 c5. I need new tires and don't believe the batteries will hold out until the next set of tires are due.
I'm concerned about getting sensors that have been sitting on the shelf for years already, with old batteries. Are there aftermarket alternatives that work with our systems? Just trying to make sure I get 10 years out of the ones I buy. Thanks for any advice.

I got mine at discount tire South Cooper, good guys to work with, used them for several years. Used to go to the store North of 20 then they built the store on south cooper closer to my house.
