Reliable MacBook Pro replacement battery?

Pardon me if this is a gauche question to post here, but I couldn't think of a more suitable online community to ask.

The battery on my early 2008 MBP is almost completely toast, and unfortunately I haven't found a replacement battery by anyone that got enough good ratings over the bad ones to make me feel good about a purchase. I realize that YMMV with these kinds of things, but I trust you folks more than Amazon with matters of this kind. Any pointers? Thanks, all.
