Free delivery on a quality brand.
As Kev says...higher the capacity the better.
For a Diesel CCA (cold cranking amps) are particularly important, due to the massive amp draw firstly from the glow plug circuit and then the starter motor itself (upto 200 amps for a Diesel)
Most online battery retailers are quoting 70ah or slightly higher, with a CCA of 650 or higher.
