main & aux battery recommendations

What are people's recommendations for main and aux/leisure batteries? I know one 4x4 dealer who will no longer sell odyssey 1500s as so many they have sold have failed, and I am hearing mixed reports about Optima.

I need to replace both my batteries and would appreciate the latest thinking for a cost-effective solution!

what are you planning to use it for?

the vehicle is a 110 defender 300tdi. Used 3+ times a week around town and 1once or twice a month for camping trips and longer summer hols.

The main is just needed for starting, the aux for lights, fridge, usb chargers etc - there is no winch (i carry a tirfor)
