Best replacement battery?

We have a 2017 Thor Quantum PD31, which is an E-450 Super Duty with the 6.8L V-10 engine. The original battery is from Ford Motorcraft: BXT-65-650 (650 cranking amps). Need to replace it. Looking for recommendations ... not interested in cheap, low-cost batteries. Want something dependable. Looked at DieHard, Duralast, and a Ford product. Suggestions please?

I replaced our OEM Ford battery in our 2016 ACE a couple of weeks ago. Best deal on a good battery I found with more CA than what it replaced. 3 year free replacement warranty. Military discount gets it for you for $90.
