optima???

so my dad works for a company that owns or has some kind of special deal with optima for their products. I can get any optima red yellow or blue top i want for 55 bucks so im gonna go for it. but im not sure witch one to go with ive got a 2000 f-150 4.6 xlt 2wd ive got power windows locks trailer towing lights with a light bar on the back non factory cd player and 1000w amp. Ive also got sirus radio and a garmin c330 nav system on the truck. I also have behind the honey comb grill 2 fog lamps and 2 offroad lights. so I do use alot of juice to run my truck. If anyone has info about witch specific model would be best for my truck please let me know ... i would just go with the biggest one they have but i dont wana screw up my cpu or starter. If its sure that I wont mess those things up then I will go with biggest with the most cold cranking amps .

If you make a lot of short trips or have the truck off with accessories on a lot go with a yellow, otherwise red would be fine.

Yellow Tops are awesome! I would have got one last year, but I couldn't afford a $189 battery!
