I have no issues with Duralast brand from Autozone...but knowing that most batteries brands are by approx 3 major battery manufacturers (Johnson Controls, Exide, & East Penn {DEKA} )...don't limit your search...because you may be able to find a "flooded" lead/acid or "gel" AGM (absorbed glass mat)
49/H8 class size battery from multiple sources that will work for your needs.
Although it looks like you are more inclined for the AGM type of battery...Autozone also sells an H8 DLG "flooded" battery that is a step above their H8 DL battery (and isn't the Platinum H8 AGM battery) that you may want to consider as well if a flooded battery isn't totally off the table.
See pics below for battery specs/info.
Advanced Auto, Pep Boys, O'Reilly's, Autozone, Sam's Club, Costco, NAPA, Batteries Plus, etc., etc., all sell
49/H8 batteries (again, in both flooded & gel types). You can check their websites, or even call around and get some price quotes...which if you call, you can inquire about any sale pricing or coupons...or even discounts if you work for certain companies. Where I work, we get a discount from Batteries Plus due to a business relationship with them (we buy lots of 1A/2A/3A batteries from them).
And if you are a member of Sam's Club or Costco...you may also find great pricing for a 49/H8 battery:
