Default what brand of front end parts to buy

Hey guys, I did a lot of front end work on my 2wd V6 ram a few months ago with cheap ebay off shore crap. Now they are all making noise indicating the lack of quality. I am now convinced that I can not be cheap here & want to get some lifetime warranty stuff locally, but I need some advice on what brands to avoid & which ones to get. Keep in mind I am cheaper than tweety bird because I am usually broker than a twig. I know there are super tuff high end stuff that costs lots more than I want to spend, but I now accept that the cheapest options here are ill advised. I have oreily's & AZ locally to me. Had really bad luck with car quest & auto advance. I don't mind buying online, but I think it would be best locally because I can take back defective stuff directly without mailing stuff back & waiting.

Anything but dura-crap, in my opinion. Autozone never sees me anymore.

I've had good luck with Moog and Deeza so far, much better than factory, but don't break the bank.
