There all about the same. You can get them with or with out grease fittings. So it really breaks down to what you want.

Use genuine ford parts. I have tried others and the quality just not there. Always factory ford parts for driveline and suspension.

I changed all 3 of mine out with Moog U-Joints with the grease fittings and changed my steady bearing with Moog as well, no problems so far.

I've always used NAPA U- joints. There are different grades based on price. The heavy duty ones that come with a grease fitting seem to be the best. Never had one fail yet.
