I'm pretty sure the yellow top is the best one out of the three (blue red and yellow)

yellow top is best for car stereo....Red is good for heavy duty starting and cranking.and blue is long life storage for marine...

Hey man I got my yellow optima about 3 months ago......I only paid 135 for it, but that's cuz I got it through one of my clubs sponsors. It works like a charm though. I actually left my interior light on overnight like a dumb ass the first night I got it.....but the next morning it started just fine, and my lights don't dim anymore when my system is cranked up either.

if ur plannin on runnin stuff all the time without the car on get the yellow top, or if u leave ur car sittin for long periods of time (a month) or u got tons of electrical toys. otherwise the red top is the best. i have one. damn thing has 850cca!!! thats more than the damn battery that starts my 5.7L GMC Truck. car starts up right away. for somereason my red top stopped holding a charge so i got to get a new one from optima (warrenty). i think it got messed up during shipping. the box was so screwed up that the battery exposed.
