I have used the Optima Red Top 34R battery in my 2000 9-3 since the original Saab battery died and had good luck with it. The only thing I had to watch out for is once I got a bad one that had apparently been sitting in the Western Auto warehouse too long and it died in a few months, but that was replaced under warranty. Always check the date on any car battery you get make sure it is relatively "fresh". I am on my second Optima battery now.
PepBoys and several other places carry the Optima batteries. They are a little pricey, but they seem to last a long time, especially in hot summer climates. If you can get one during a sale, all the better.
