There are three main battery manufacturers in the U.S. (I'm assuming you are in the U.S.). They are Johnson Controls, East Penn, and Exide, which are sold under various brand names. I have used batteries made by Johnson Controls (Interstate brand) and East Penn (AAA brand) and so far I've found the East Penn battery to be better.
I measured the charges on both batteries when new and the AAA battery measured higher than the rated CCA while the Interstate battery measured slightly lower. That's very anecdotal since you would need a larger sample size to make any meaningful conclusions, but that's my experience for what it's worth. East Penn batteries are sold under the AAA and Napa brand names.
If you do some online research in the car forums, I think you'll find that people rank the batteries as 1) East Penn, 2) Johnson Controls, and 3) Exide.

Thanks, that is very helpful information. Do you know where Diehard or Bosch land inside of those 3?
