I perfer the AC Delco Professional Series battery.
I purchased a new Optima Red Top and it would not start the car. The new Optima was dead and would not take a charge. Some guys say the Optima does not last long.

I ran my stereo for a couple hours the other day while cleaning
my 2007, the "low battery" message came on in the DIC, then
the car would barely start.
I have the BOSE, but would not think it would kill the battery that
fast.
I wonder if the stock battery is just a weak model.
