Just about any battery will do. Your major problem is the connection! Get
proper battery cables and bolt them up tight to avoid that power robbing heat
generator. Get the battery you intend to use in the car, it will be fine.
When shopping for a battery tell them the dimensions and pay attention to the
post location. If you are going positive ground get a battery with the
positive terminal on the right (with the battery oriented with the terminals
towards you).
