U-Joints and Carrier Bearing - Spicer vs Moog?

[Iron Duke II]

Is there a brand that owners of 2nd gen trucks prefer for u-joints and carrier bearings for future reference?

Dana Spicer are usually US Made.

Based on what I've come across so far the following these appear to be the Spicer u-joints that are currently available.
Spicer U-joints are Driveshaft - SPI-5-1410X and Front Axle at Wheels/Dana 60 - SPI-SPL55X. https://www.drivetrainamerica.com/5-1410x-dana-spicer-1410-u-joint-non-greasable-5-801x/ and https://www.drivetrainamerica.com/spl55x-dana-spicer-1480-spicer-driveshaft-u-joint-non-greasable/

The Spicer carrier bearing 211848-1X. https://www.drivetrainamerica.com/spicer-211848-1x-dodge-ram-dana-driveshaft-center-support-bearing/

I wish I could find the video showing exactly why Spicer universals are way better than any other brand. I can't find it and I had a laptop die that had the link. I only use Spicer u-joints now. After 39 years beating the heck out of a 69 CJ-5 I have found Spicer stuff is the strongest and best designed. I have placed them under extreme stress in hardcore rock crawling and they last the best and longest. Anyway, my .0002 Cents..

450k on OE U joints on my 98 I would never buy a different brand.

I buy my u-joints at Big Lots.......

Spicer cold forged (non-greaseable) are their strongest.

No matter what brand the parts are at the mercy of the installer. Here Prof. Kelly at weber State starts almost 5 hours of a 7 part U joint master class videos. History, removal, installation, measuring, centering and a bunch more.
