Battery Talk... (Optima vs. Others)

Okay guys, it's that time... I need to purchase a new battery for the 'ol girl. I'm read past posts about battery replacement and the Optima battery, but before I spent $100+, I wanted to see if everyone's experience with them went well.

As everyone is, I'm looking for a battery that will last a while. My truck, at this time, only gets out of the garage maybe 20-30 times. (I know, I know, this number will increase as other things get replaced on the truck) I need a battery that will last, and not need replaced in 3-5 years. I'm not planning on installing a headaching stereo, or a bagged suspension (although it could be a possibility), so there will not be a lot of drain on the battery except to start the truck.

What's everyones experience with the Optima battery, or another comparable battery?
