The Best Battery
What I would do is pick up a battery maintainer/tender. The maintainer is nice to have if your bike is not used for prolonged periods of time or if your riding consists primarily of short trips. If I know I’m not going to ride for a few days I’ll plug mine in (takes two seconds). You want to get a 12 volt/1.5 amp maintainer, preferably with a quick connect attachment, and one that has both "charging" and "float" modes. These features are nothing special and come standard in most models.
Charge your battery up and take it to an auto store that does free battery tests. They’ll do a load test on it and determine if it’s faulty or not. Proceed accordingly.
As far as the best battery, my thought on that is that you probably get what you pay for. My bike’s currently got an Interstate battery in it which is a good brand, imo.

I am a big fan of the Yuasa battery that comes stock. I have never had a bad cell in a Yuasa, and I did maintenance on all of the bikes used in the MSF course here in Roanoke Va. If a bike gets laid down that much and the battery last through it then I can trust it. Yuasa all the way...
