I bought an AutoCraft Platinum AGM Battery, Group Size H8, 900 CCA from Advance Auto Parts for my '06 DB9 last year. Perfect fit and has worked great (it has a great relationship with my CTEK tender).
I think it was $179 then, and it was in stock at my local store.

Great Question, and apparently no one picked up that an equivalent question is "How much more do I weigh with a Hard-on?"

I just went with an Odyssey in my Ferrari and I anticipate when my DBS is ready for one, I'll put one in there as well.

I'm certainly not a battery expert but these have great reviews and are a common replacement battery for other exotic brands. No corrosive material to worry about leaking out or venting needed. Just for whatever it's worth I wanted to share.

Good luck!

I did the battery change on the vantage 2 weeks ago, the whole process took about 1.5 to 2 hours.

80% of the time was spent on trying to get those stupid sliding brackets off. The dilemma was do I spend an hour trying to slide them off with all the trim in place or do I spend the same hour taking out the seat and more interior trim to slide them off easily haha

I've had an odyssey pc1350 in my vantage for three years. Perfect fit and performance.

The Odyssey site shows the pc1350 as discontinued. The 49-950 appears to be the new version. Also checkout the thread I started on replacing the batteries in later year cars. I don't know if your car will have the shorter group 93 battery vs the 49, but you probably want to check what's in there before buying something.

What’s the perfect replacement model battery for a 2016 V8 Vantage S?

Duracell 49-H8 @ Sam's club AGM battery for $200 otd. Is a reasonable option.

OP originally asked for “best”. While AGM and other options provided are good, I am extremely pleased with the @Antigravity Batteries lithium ion I have been running for the past year. It took out over 40 pounds from the weight in the car and has a restart feature that has already saved me twice where I left something on in the car. It is a little more expensive on the front end, but is the best option to take weight out, increase life, and protect against dead battery.
