Brand names are for the most part irrelevant. All of the car batteries you can get in the US are made by either Exide, East Penn Manufacturing Company, or Johnson Controls. There are a couple of other brands that make specialty batteries, but otherwise that's it. Costco, Interstate, Diehard, Autozone, etc. are just resellers of those three brands. They are all the same. Buy based on capacity, CCA, price and warranty.
I agree with all said, except (I believe) that Bosch is also a player in the US market.
