Recommend a battery for me

[aeronautica86 10+ year member]

I know most people are going to be using kinetik, optima and sometimes odyssey batteries, but I'm having trouble finding a good battery that will fit in my car. The current battery is 7.5" tall which seems to be the main restriction - I don't think anything taller than that will work. Also, I'm not sure the 13" odyssey pc1700t will fit lengthwise, but it may.

Secondary question; how do yall think an Odyssey pc1700t would do as the only battery in a car with 115a alt, big 3 and currently ~800w system (though eventually may be ~1300w).
