I'm leaning towards the Sears Die Hard Advance Gold currently on sale for $144 and I'll just install it myself.
What is the most inexpensive way to code for the replacement? Should I just buy a coding cable from one stop and do it myself? Has anyone found any cheaper cables that work just as well?

Least expensive way would be to have an autologic dealer perform registration for you after the new battery is installed. Contact autologic at 877.945.6442 or visit
www.autologic.us, once given your location - they will locate a programming facility nearby in your area.
Registration literally takes less than 10 minutes.
Unless you plan on doing additional coding, purchasing cables simply are an unnecessary expense.
