Time to restart this discussion.
What battery (or batteries in the H1) do you use in your truck?
Would you buy them again?
What would you like to own?

I don't have an Optima in the Hummer just yet, but one will be going in! They're awesome, especially if you're running an electric winch or a big stereo, they seem to last forever... I won't pretend to be an expert on the subject but the Optimas seem pretty good!

I think that as long as you are just a weekend easy trail runner, stock batteries are the best economically. If you do a lot of winching,2-3 minimum winching on an outing,regularly, then the optimas would start to be recommended.
the purchase of such an expensive battery is like buying an row of HID offroad lamps and never offroad at nights. Looks great, but never been used for what they are designed.
But the the hell, its just money we spend on our rigs.EVERYDAY <img src='

I run an Optima. Even in the coldest weather my truck still starts like a jet with it.
