The Harbor Freight maintainer is nothing fancy. It's just a very basic constant 
trickle charger. For our purposes it's perfect, and cheap. My '71 has one in 
the garage all winter and sits in the low 13s. I have another one on a spare 
battery in the garage and a third in the basement, where it can be used as 
needed. Each one bought for less than $5.

Sometimes fancy, or "best", is the last thing you need.
