Default Battery Topper

Any recommendations on the best side terminal battery to use with a battery topper for my 1972 Chevelle?

I have an optima now - they are top and side terminal - I need just a side terminal for a 72 Chevelle to be correct. Going for my AACA Grand National...

I purchased a AGM side terminal battery from NAPA. Works great with the topper - under $200.00... I did put some butyl on the top of the battery to help hold the topper on since there are no posts on top.
