I have always had good luck with AC Delco which is what GM places in most if not all their cars. The only dead battery i have ever had was on a Ford truck which was only 6 months old and replaced under warranty.

I replaced my battery with the oem Delco. No fitment problems, just bolt it in and connect the cables. No muss no fuss. My orginal Delco lasted almost six and a half years. Keep in mind that regardless of brand there are but three battery manufactures in the US. My Delco was made by Johnson Controls.

Cost-no-object best battery I've seen for a C6 (with great install details): http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...-c6-coupe.html
But it weighs 49 lbs and costs ~$260.
Lots of other choices. Just decide what you really need and how much you're willing to spend.
Whatever battery you choose, be sure to get the correct size & post orientation for your C6. Read the above thread for details, you'll see.

Just replaced the battery in my '08, $102, 36 mo. full replacement, 96 mo. total Warranty. PEP Boys was the only place open Sat and Sun with the correct battery in stock at a reasonable price.
I would have liked to price an AC Delco but nobody was open on a Sun. I'm probably better off with PEP Boys, they at least are open nights and weekends.
