BAIC: Recommend me a Battery

So I've had my 04 STi since July of 2003 and since I don't drive it much, the battery is starting to become juiceless. After about a week of not driving, starting up the car is getting scary, as the next place I drive to, the battery may not have enough juice to start the car up!

Just today when I went to start my car, I let everything sit so the fuel pumps could turn on, and then after a few really slow cranks, it turned on.

So, BAIC, where should I get a battery for an inexpensive price and what kind should I get? Or should I just get an OE replacement?

optima yellow top.. Why skimp on a battery when everything else on your car is baller... It's like $180 bucks.. Oh, and the reason I suggested the yellow top over the red top, is due to your stereo and amps.. It'll be better in the long run..
