Default Correct battery size? Correct Optima battery P/N? [long]

What is the correct battery size to fit in the B4 90s under the battery cover? On both of my cars the batteries are too big (it's what came with both of them), and the cover just kinds of falls off on my '95 (too wide).

On top of that, for those of you running Optima batteries, what is the correct model/part # for our cars? I've read the descriptions on their website about the different models, but which one is best fit for the 90s? I live in Colorado, in the mountains where it can get cold and I do have a stereo in my car (nothing major, and seems to run just fine on normal batteries).

I realize that a normal battery would do just fine, but the longer life of the Optima's plus the fact that they're more resistant to vibrations, bumps, and such makes them attractive. Figured they're a good battery for the crappy roads in Colorado.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

I did search the forum, and didn't find any info on part numbers.

Thanks!
