Difficult one to define - 'best'.
I've got all my bikes on Motobatt batteries. Absorbed glass mat type, no leaks, big cranking current and a lot cheaper than Odyssey types.
Big plus over Odyssey - dual terminals so no faffing around with stretching cables because poles are opposite handed a la Odyssey.

Any dealer that uses Hi-Level will supply but eBay probably the fastest and maybe cheaper than phonecalls and ordering-in wait and travel to collect...

I've had plenty Odyssey batteries on bikes in the past.
Read your way through these tests though...

Mine's done very well - often left for 3/4 weeks without being started in the winter and no trickle charge, and still starts the bike up fine

Managed to get my odyssey in the hole Whole lot of fiddling and removing rear shock, But its there and it works

Standard 1200GS battery strap fits and will hold in place:
