I think any AGM battery would be a good bet for a hybrid.

The Optima Yellow Tops on my motorcycle have worked well. I have heard of some other people say they ran into quality issues with Optimas, but mine have been great.

You could also use a charger like this for whatever you end up getting.

It's pretty reasonably priced as far as multi-battery chargers go.
