Gold Duralast at Autozone. Three year free replacement and the case was an exact match to replace the original battery in my 2016 Stingray A8 coupe. I replace all my batteries every three years anyway. Even though Autozone will install for free I would recommend against it. The carpet in my car tears very easily and I would not want to impose such a difficult install on a kid working after school. Plus I like to DIY the stuff myself for a feeling of accomplishment and to know its done right!
I would/will go back with AC Delco (below) when I need replace in my '17 GS. I sold them through my auto parts some years ago and they are a very high quality battery.
I see you're from Pa, Deka (East Penn Manufacturing Co) makes a very good battery, I sold them as well. East Penn is one of the few battery manufacturers. In fact they are the largest singe site lead battery manufacturing facility in the world.

I'm typically not a Walmart shopper, but their EverStart Maxx line is the best aftermarket battery I've used in my other vehicles. Made by Johnson Controls.
Three years "no questions asked" replacement warranty.

When I replaced mine, I went with one just like the above. Reasonable price and good warranty.
I just replaced my OEM with a DieHard AGM. So far so good. And it has handles. If you get another OEM battery... and really even if you don't, get one of these to make extraction easy. If you have big hands it is difficult to do otherwise.
Wondering what battery to get for girlfriend's C7, original is getting hinky. AC Delco or? Thanks in advance. Dave
Even thought they charge a little more, I had the dealer do mine for the "peace-of-mind," knowing they did the set up (such as window indexing) properly. Rather than "Gold," I went with the "Silver" battery.

^^^^^^^Nice! Thanks a bunch, great information, got an appointment this Thursday for her, silver or gold seems the way to go! Dave
Batteries Plus, full 60 months warranty. With $20 rebate you can get this battery for $259. A core deposit of $18 so you get this beast for $241. I like the built-in handle. Sure beats having to change your battery out after 30 months.
Not a bad price but I don't understand why you have both "service battery" and "replace battery" jobs??

i could not find the 42 month ac delco locally it was between the duralast and the diehard advanced auto parts vs autozone I went with the 36 months guaranteed diehard. It was a real pita for the install I watched. price out the door was about 168 including tax

I wondered the same thing and figured this is just another way dealers make more money with all these added charges.
I just assumed they get by with the "service battery" charge (with the $11.00 Parts charge) because they added those Red and Green felt pieces to the terminal bases and they will also probably say they cleaned the terminal connections too. Then they add the $35.00 labor charge for just the remove and replace battery. It's just like they charge a "shop fee" for rags, etc., in addition to a labor charge for the work done.

Designer Imagines A Corvette That Looks More Like a Corvette Than the Corvette
Slideshow: A Jaguar designer's personal project imagines what a modern front-engined Corvette might look like if Chevrolet revisited the golden age of the Stingray.
