Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative battery manufacturer for a 2008 Penryn MacBook Pro?

My laptop has been demoted to permanent desktop use, though I've learned that Mac laptops only operate at half speed with a dead/absent battery in them, even when using the power brick, so I need to replace it.

I've had my eye on FastMac's battery. Also saw NewerTech's, though my trust in NT is all but lost after purchasing their horrible 802.11n router. Are there any manufacturers with good reputable batteries (preferably, batteries that last more than 6 months/1 year)?
