Just like an oil thread: depends on use.
If you use a charger check it's compatible with your choice of battery.
Look at what deals are on offer.
No point buying something fancy if you'll sell the bike next year.
I ride the CB500 all year (only charges off the engine, never topped up, just key and go) and can't see how saving a few pounds in weight will change very much. Lead acid is cheap and cheerful as far as I'm concerned. The battery on the CL is just a buffer between the alternator and electrics!
Off road I might be tempted by AGM for less worry when dropped.
