Duralast Gold here and works great, but as we all know corvettes get plugged into a trickle charger.

Sounds like you got good service from your Die Hard. Might want to consider another one. I myself got 5 years from my OEM AC Delco and purchased another one.

I went with an AC Delco from the dealer. The price was low and the factory battery was still good after 6 years.

Duralast Gold here as well. I've had good luck with their batteries as well as their ceramic brake pads.

I have the original Delco battery in my 13 GS M6. I priced out Auto Zone $155 ... Advance Auto.. $160... Delco from Chevy dealer $152... I will stick with the OEM when it’s time to change batteries.

Optima Red Top batteries are in every 4 wheeled vehicle I own. The one in my daily driver (pickup truck) is over 7 years old.
That said, I think the Interstate, Duralast and DieHard batteries are all good quality products too, in a C6, the batteries life is mostly dependent on how it's maintained. Buy a quality battery and keep it on a tender.
