Default Recommendations on cossie battery's

My battery has decided to give up and won't take a charge so a new one is in order.

Do I stick with trying to find a square terminal or go for round terminal with the adapter clamps ?

Also what make are are meant to be good ?

I have a new Square post battery (for a Japanese car) which came with a big rising sun flag picture on it. That was taken off and replaced with a motorcraft sticker to keep it looking right.

I have a Lion square terminal battery from Euros on my 3dr, does the trick
I've pulled all the stickers off with a view to either putting the ones off my old Motorcraft battery on it, or getting a set of repro stickers from DMB
