Default Need battery recommendation

Hi,
I have a '04 accord ex couple and the last couple batteries were die hard which at this point i really think require a name change to "die quick" because that's what they seem to do. Before those i never had a problem with batteries lasting under 2 years. I am on social security and barley make ends meet, so i need to get something that's not going to die in 18 months. Is there anything out there that has a reputation for great longevity for the money, preferably under $100? I believe the size is group 51. I live in a warm climate so no major strain on it due to cold, but i do mostly use it for quick trips so it often doesn't have miles between starts and stops to do a thorough job of charging it. Thanks.

Do you or someone you know have a Costco membership? They carry Interstate batteries. The car batteries are good and Costco is great with their warranty.

I recommend Optima or any other solid state battery.
