Whatever you choose, since you have the battery INSIDE the passenger
compartment, it must have provision for the vent tube that goes outside--not
so critical on the 4000 series with the battery under the hood. 

I'm partial to Interstate--others might throw stones.  I know in the past,
they didn't have one with the breather tube fitting--the post you mentioned
about the Sears DieHard said that they do have one available (my experience
w/ DieHards in size 42 was they leaked, badly.  of course this was many years
ago when i had a type ii (bus) and rabbits, so things may have changed since
then)
