I don't see Interstaes on the list, but it's probably not exhaustive.
So, are all these batteries made the same, or are there differences
between them? Is the cheapest the same internally as the most
expensive of a given size, warranty and CCA?
What I can be absolutely sure of is

Summer and
November 2005 issue reports that the Wal Mart EverStart beats the Diehard.
Only six of 39 batteries tested met their CCA claims and four of those were
EverStart.
I didn't know about batteies having a date code so you can pick out a fresh

On the other hand it is still possible to buy batteries from someone
(couldn't figure out who made it, some house brand from a battery
suppler in Canada)
