Costco sells redtops for $150 and yellows for $210. That's the cheapest I've seen in the city. The only other place to get them is crappy tire online but they're usually a bit more.

Yellow tops will let you play your stereo for a long time without the car running.

Red top is for SLI (starting, lighting, ignition)
Yellow top is for deep cycle use like davidI said
Blue top is for marine use

Check inside costco (NE) not the tire centre, there's an automotive aisle with oil, jacks / other car related stuff. I just bought a yellow top about a month ago. The reds were priced exactly at $149.99 not incl GST of course. The red top is universal size and comes with a plastic adapter which helps the fit on certain cars.
