Default Upper Arm replacement brand advice

Hello F-150 friends,

I live in El Salvador, and as you may imagine roads are not billiard table smooth. My upper arms need replacement in a 2002 Supercrew, 2WD, 5.4 motor. The truck has been great, never failed.
I am considering the parts from Rock Auto, but they have zero advice to give as far as which brand to use.
Worse, they range from Dormans at $22 ea. to Moog at more than double.
Of course I would love to use Dorman....

The factory parts have lasted thus far, and about 50K miles.
I would really appreciate your advice on what brand to use, as I have to add considerable freight charges and taxes .
Here, they cost a paltry $145...

Thank you very much for the kind help.

Regards, Alberto

Moog.

The Dorman's are 1/2 the price, but more than likely also less than half the quality.
