Ball Joint Recommendations

Ball Joint Recommendations
So I noticed a clunking in the front end today when I was making sharp turns, particularly left turns. You couldn't really feel much of anything in the wheel, but it could be heard with the windows down. Jacked up the front wheels by the control arms 1 at a time, and the upper ball joints seem to have a little bit of slop in them, not much but it is there. The passenger's side seems to be worse than the driver's side.
So back to the main point, what ball joints are good. I know moogs are good, and are what's on it now from 10 years ago when my dad changed them, but are they worth the $40 each vs $20 for acdelco or something else? I'm also figuring I should replace the lower ball joints too. Thoughts?

I changed the upper control arm bushings with polyurethane ones last summer and have new polyurethane lower ones in a box waiting to go in too, otherwise I thought about that. Hell I might finally do the lower control arm bushings while I'm doing the ball joints too.
