First gen unibody pro 15" - need a battery. any help?

[Advil]

hey guys i have the late 08 uMBP with the removable battery and mine expanded really big and broke the bottom battery door off. I need a new battery but the apple store said they don't have them in stock any more. I googled around but I can't figure out which I should buy. I noticed a couple differently branded ones that were a tad cheaper, are those reliable?

this one supposedly has a bit more capacity and is cheaper than apples. is it reliable? - http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/BAP15MBU54RS/

Any links to where I should buy or info are GREATLY appreciated!

I guess it is this one you want:

I don't have any experience with replacement batteries from third party manufacturers. Usually it is recommended to stick with the original, however if the battery lifetime is not that important to you a cheap knockoff might work too.
