So it seems my battery is slowly losing its charge, so I figured it was time to start looking for a new battery. I am pretty sure I have a Westco battery if I remember correctly.

I was wondering what you guys are running out there and where you bought it from. Thanks!

Been happy enough with mine from O'Reilly's.. the part # is actually "MIATA"...

I'm using a Marathon (https://www.batterymart.com/p-12v-mazda-miata-battery.html?mobile=TRUE&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=MAR-8AM-U1R&utm_campaign=PLA&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9LPYBRDSARIsAHL7J5nvaCnhOWjd4RoKtX3T eRZ3GcEQmImcH7gAFq132LJvLP5SLJ3joQgaAjqFEALw_wcB) after going through like 3 Westcos. All my fault, forgetting to put it on trickle and not starting the car for months. I haven't noticed a difference between the two yet.

I also use the O'Reilly/Autozone/Advanced Auto "Miata" batteries with no issue. I tried a Westco once, I deep cycled it twice in two weeks and killed it. I was pretty pissed about that. The one I bought at the autoparts store was identical to it, cheaper even, so I moved on. I know Stevan (Rogue) swears by the sealed MAT(?) batteries though.
