need help with battery selection

so in my R1 swap i need a new battery. i have two battery trays one small and one large and only want to use one battery. the stock charging system is marginal at best and i have quite a few electrical items i want to run at night.

i am eventually going to install an alternator. so i need a battery with tons of storage and decent cranking amps.

any sugestions?

blue top optima? Odessy?

The Optima blue would be my choice, it will easily crank the R1 motor and it's deep cycle so you don't have to worry about running it low with lights etc.
