The V8 spec battery with the highest CCA you can find will be fine. That should have a 3 year warranty. The bottom shelf junk with 12 months warranty is not worth the trouble.

I recently fitted a Century DIN65LHX MF. Perfect for cammed cars. If readily available, I would have gone the AC Delco as they last.

Century is a good brand in battery

I disagree, I had two Century batteries fail under warranty. Century are dirt cheap in Adelaide if you know where to buy them from. Only one place that sells them way cheaper than SCA and the likes. I'd only consider a Century battery if I happen to be in Adelaide at the time of needing one and only because they are cheap.

Not a recommendation but depending on price of AC Delco I may look at a Supercharge again when it comes to replacing the battery in Black Thunder. I can buy SC through the local warehouse, which is why I may consider one. That's of course if there is an option in SC.
