If you can swing the cash, I would say to go with an Optima. I used to have a standard battery in the VX and the posts and cables kept corroding. I had to constantly clean them off, and the corrosion ate into the heat/sound mat on the underside of the hood. Since I installled the Optima I haven't had any corrosion problems. The Optima's are sealed so they can be mounted in any position and have a high vibration resistance.
I know they're expensive, but in my opinion, they're worth the price.

Optima for sure, I have had redtop and yellowtop in other VX and have the yellowtop in the current VX. Drycell is far superior especially in the heat.
Ask forgiveness, not permission.

VT, a battery buddy is an electronic device that is installed in series with the positive lead on the battery. If the voltage drops too low, the battery buddy isolates the battery from the electrical system (shuts down). Theoretically it shuts off with just enough juice left to restart the vehicle. You have to actually pop the hood and push a button on the battery buddy to start the car if it's been tripped.
