AGM battery here . I like the fact that the AGM will not boil out acid when a cell goes bad like regular wet cell will . Keeps the corrosion down from a battery as well. Also never have to monitor the water level .

I am using a duracell AGM 78 in my 82 from sams club . Had the best price and also had a better warranty than most .

Most likely you could use the 78 series as well . More cranking amps .

Also keep it charged . AGM dont like to be discharge to low . Most auto battery's don't like it anyway , AGM seems not to like it more .

With all that said its still hard to beat a wet cell for forgiveness and performance as well as price .
