I've got a Napa unit that resembles the Jr. (it's even green). Works fine for me.

Whichever one you get make sure it shuts off when the battery is charged and will come back on when the voltage starts to drop
I think it's better than a constant trickle charge

JR!!!
I use this one.
It also has the harness that attaches to the battery, which could stay on the battery posts, it till you need to use it.....
But either one will do.

I use an Optimate III. Clever bit of kit which can even revive supposedly nacked batteries. Whichever you use, make sure you check the electrolyte levels periodically throught the Winter.
