But then I am a year round rider. If I were in the situation where the bike would be sitting for long periods, month or four, I would spring the extra for the Odyssey 'Dry Cell' as it claims to not lose it's starting ability if sitting for many months.

I would go with the maintenance-free in any case just to avoid the need to deal with adding distilled water. I got the Odyssey because I wanted the flexibility to mount it sideways or on-end, etc. if I decide to relocate stuff on the bike. I also liked the steel case on it which would allow me to completely ditch the stock battery box if I wanted.

Most other batteries have 14 Amp Hrs capacity. Trust me -- not a problem. (To prove: take a 14 amp hour battery. Crank for several seconds. You're down to 12 amp hours capacity remaining. Starting is still no problem.)
