Rover 75 1.8 Battery Replacement

Afternoon,
I need to replace the battery on my 1.8 Rover 75.
I am looking for a battery with a 5 year warranty.
Two options that I have found are Varta Silver and Powerplus Advanced XD Supreme. I'm sure there are others, Bosch etc.
The Varta 075/D21 is £72.50 and the Powerplus 075 is £56.95 or the Varta 096 is £87.99 and the Powerplus 096 is £69.95.
I have Varta batteries on my other MG/Rovers but I was wondering whether anyone had any views on Powerplus and also whether I should get the 096 battery even though it is slightly taller than the 075 battery?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Regards David
