I'm running a Yuasa YTZ7S. I waffled on the battery thing putting the bike together and finally decided that if the Yuasa could start my Nypex and turbo RX1back in the day then it ought to be able to start a dirt bike. It does. cold starts, no drama, yah its a bit heavier but honestly who cares it just doesn't matter.
ETX12A by EarthX is a popular lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4). I've been using one this year and it's been great, but we've also had a sickeningly warm winter so far in MT so no below zero starting tests so far.
Also, you don't mention into what bike you are fitting it which would be helpful info to edit into your original post.

I'm using my stock 18' yz450 battery. Coldest day so far was -2*f. I have a bunch of those 'hot hands body warmers' so I just throw one of those on the battery about an hour before riding. It keeps it warm enough to not have any starting issues. Kind of a pain taking the seat off each day, but works so well I'll keep doing it.
From what I have seen, the stock batteries will not start the bike when it gets a little bit colder. The only solution has been to pull the battery out and warm it up in the truck. They also had problems with a lot of the stock batteries even starting bikes in warmer temperatures. You probably got a good one so no big deal.
