Best replacement battery for mid 2009 Macbook Pro

Hi all,

The battery on my mid 2009 MBP is on its way out. I found out recently that Apple now does not service batteries for mid 2009 MBP's as they are vintage. I was very disappointed in Apple after hearing this. My question is what is the best third party battery replacement my laptop? I've read reviews from Anker, Lizone, Key Power, and GreenBox. They all seem similar, many good reviews, a few bad. Nothing similar to the original battery. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.53 GHz), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), Mid 2009
