Default Recommendation on battery tender

I just replaced my POS OEM Delco with an Optima RedTop. I plan to keep my baby in the garage over the winter. Does the Forum have a recommendation on a good battery tender? I see one in the Griot's Garage catalogue; anyone have this one? I have had good luck with Griot's stuff.

There is a 1.5 amp charger on the market that works great. It shuts itself off when the battery is fully charged and comes back on when there is a 1 volt drop. They are Century brand and available at Wal-Mart and Pep Boys for about $25 or mail order for about $40 from most Corvette suppliers.

I like the Schumacker Mighty Might 1.5 amp fully automatic; small and brackets permantly on the side of the battery. $39 at Performance Products.
