Deka. Really depends on your budget. I've been using Diehard or Autozone AGM' forever and get years out them using a tender.
Cross thread points!

Best of my knowledge/memory Deka provides batteries for HD. If you use the Deka you need to use the little shims that come with it to ensure the cable end sits flush against the terminal/case. Battery-ETX20L

The last time I checked (which was admittedly a long time ago), there were only three manufacturers of automotive batteries:

1. Johnson Controls
2. East Penn
3. Exide

Deka = East Penn

Interstate, Die Hard, Autozone's various brands, etc.: Johnson Controls

Armed with that information, if you want to know who makes a car/motorcycle battery, look at the case itself. For example, an Interstate battery is white and green. "The same" (at least the case) battery is sold at Autozone, but it's black or yellow and black.
