Deka/ East Penn. Be sure to look at cold cranking amp ratings on the AGM's in comparison. In some cases, flooded batteries are best suited for cranking. For instance in my boat, I have 3 AGM's and a single flooded with the flooded isolated as a cranking only battery and the AGM's to run the auxiliary functions.

I don’t know about the newer trucks but I’ve been using Odyssey’s for 20 years or so in different vehicles with no issues. I switched to them after the Optima’s went to crap. My 04 Ram Cummins is still going with 15yo Odyssey’s. They are starting to test a little weak so they’ll likely get changed out before long. 15 years and no issues. They have been kept on a maintenance charger when the truck sits.
Thats pretty impressive. I'm going to have to look into those.

Odyssey are great. Batteries in my Jet boat are still going at 20 years.
Costco/Interstate batteries are my second favorite. Best price in town. Sold the last truck with a set that was over 10 years old.
Current truck is now 10 years old and still strong. Just had them tested a few weeks ago. I believe they are Interstate also.
