Battery Recommendations?

Hello all! I'm in need of a new battery, and wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a good one? I currently have a duralast battery, and it's fine, but... is there something better? I live in Las Vegas, so with the desert temps (high in summer, low in winter), batteries don't last too long. The current duralast is 12 days out of the 3 year warranty... Is/could there be a better bang for the buck?

Probably depends on who makes the Duralast and whether it's made "differently" than the mother brand. Sort of like John Deere - there's John Deere... and then there's "Home Depot" John Deere. Interstate and Deka are always great choices.
