I got the Bosch S5 007 a couple of years back.  Asked the same question as you on here and the consensus seemed to be Bosch. Does the job well, better than the original. 5 year warranty as well, so no worries.

Just ordered the http://www.tayna.co.uk/E44-Varta-Silver-Car-Battery-577400078-P7726.html

The specs are better than the Bosch and it's cheaper than the Bosch, hopefully will install it tomorrow!!
