I will probably get laughed off this website, but I have an Advanced Auto Titanium I bought in April of 2003 still in my '97 F250HD. I have played my stereo (Pioneer w/ amp + 10" subs) for hours at a time at softball tourneys over the years, and have never had any start up issues.

Delco used to be good, not so good anymore.
FWIW Instead of working in the shop or driving the tow truck Im back in the battery truck. Were an AAA shop and sell them insanely priced batteries off the truck. Anyways, What fails the most-exides, delcos (both oem and off shelf), diehards, optimas SUCK these days too. I have an exide in my old toyota, somehow it has never let me down, not sure why but its like a ford-barebones with nothing on like a modern car.
Currently were using dekas for AAA batts, used to use exides and ALWAYS had issues. Things would die like no other in short time for no reason, tons of bad cells. Been using dekas for awhile now and cant say much bad about them. No issues and they last. Interstates are also pretty dang good, friend of mine has an old bronco that basically sits now and has a 34 in it..that sucker cranks his 300 up everytime no matter whats.

I have Duralast Gold batteries in the SHO and the Centurion. The one in the Centurion was swapped over from my old 93 F150, and is about 3 years old. Never had an issue with either, and both of these vehicles sit for months without being started. As fate would have it, I started both this past weekend without an issue, after both had sat for about 6 weeks.
Though I've never used one myself, I've heard that a "battery tender" will help extend the life of batteries in vehicles that sit for long periods of time.
