Commendable that you like them! As for "best"... ;)

SuperCharge seem good value. It was the OE fitment for our 159, and pretty cheap. Replaced the battery only recently.

In the other Alfas, I have always upgraded to a deep cycle Optima. Excellent batteries. I would also recommend Odyssey and Stinger. These are not always a direct drop-in replacement; I have modified terminals in the GT and 155.

Varta and Bosch are other very good batteries. All of these cost more than SuperCharge though.
