What optima battery fits our Mazda Protege5?

34/78----10.0 x 6.8 x 7.8
34--------10.0 x 6.8 x 7.8 possible to get this one to work

35--------9.0 x 6.7 x 7.8 I think this one.
75/35----9.4 x 6.8 x 7.8

Here are the specs for optima

34/78

35

I have read several people used 34/78

Looks like 35 is suppose to be for our cars but I would rather use 34/78 which is only approx 3/4 longer.
But is 50 Ah compared to 44 Ah
110 mins compared to 90 mins
(800A CCA, 1000A MCA) compared to (720A CCA, 910A MCA)

What do some of you think?
