Personally, I would go with a Gold battery from Advance Auto Parts or Autozone, unless your OEM battery was AGM. But in fact both AGM and flooded cell are lead acid batteries, it is just that the AGM ones are completely sealed, more robust inside, can be turned upside down, and acid is in the absorbent glass mats and not sloshing around in each cell. One misconception is that only traditional flooded cell batteries are lead acid. The later issue can be a problem for some vehicles, while others seem to handle it OK, but I don't know about a 2015 Corolla. The negative aspects of an AGM battery are the higher cost, and for best results it requires slightly different charging electronics by the vehicle charging system for optimum results. That is why a lot of batteries fail in the summer in hot climates.

Standard 'flooded cell' batteries can suffer sudden failure due to the internal plastic cell dividers becoming weak in the heat (high outside temperatures and heat from the engine), and then when subjected to vibration and physical shock the internal plastic cell dividers can crack and become prone to leaking, causing neutralizing of the chemical reaction necessary for a battery to hold a charge.
