I've had better luck with Yuasa than any other two brands combined.

Gel batteries use a thickener in the liquid electrolyte rather than water in the cells. They're similar to AGM, or advanced glass mat batteries. Gel batteries must be charged on a trickle charger rather than a fast automotive charger. In my experience, the trickle chargers like the Battery Tender work fine for gell or AGM batteries. Both gel and AGM batteries work much better in a motorcycle application because they can withstand vibration better than water filled batteries. It's my understanding that they also hold up better under a deep discharge.
The links below are my top picks.

Yuasa batterys are top of the line motorcycle batterys. If you can get a "maintenence free" battery for your model, all the better - you never have to add or check the water level.

Several motorcycle mfgs use Yuasa batteries as stock equipment. Interstate is a good battery brand, see if they make a motorcycle battery.

I have used a AC Delco battery in my 79 Shovelhead and it has been one of the best batteries I have had in it.
