Best batteries????

You're going to get subjective answers here. In addition, battery choice in the north is different from the south, and it does matter. I strongly recommend you review the WARRANTIES of any battery you are thinking of purchasing. Note also that brands of batteries often change manufacturers, so historical knowledge is useless (Sears DieHard is a prime example). Note also that there are only a few actual manufacturers, and they make different levels of batteries for different brands. I'm in the Midwest, and when I replace batteries I almost always choose the EverStart Maxx line at Walmart (and I hate Walmart). Why? Warranty. The EverStart Plus line has a 2 year free replacement warranty. The EverStart Maxx line has a 5 year warranty - 3 years of free replacement and 2 years pro-rated. For the 1996 F-150 5 liter, you get 750 CCA with the EverStart Plus 65-3 for $99.97 and 850 CCA for the EverStart Maxx MAXX-65N for $109.97. If you are planning on selling the car in the next year or two, you cannot beat the $48.88 Value Power VP-65, with 1 year free replacement and 650 CCA.

I've never owned one but I read about some and wanted one because of the amount of time they last but then I read about their quality totally going downhill in the past years

Dual hybrid battery. Deep cycle and super high CCA.
5 year free replacement no questions asked. I love it.
I bought at Batteries Plus Bulbs after a few weeks of research for the "best" battery
X2 Power AGM-sealed.

Take a look at the Duracell batteries at Sams Club:

Think they are the same as the Deka batteries. I plan on getting one soon. Great batteries especially if you have an aftermarket stereo system.

There are only 3 battery manufacturers in the US. Exide, Johnson Controls, and East Penn Deka. They label the batteries for each company or store.
Chances are a battery that you hate is made by the same company as the battery you love.
