Default What's your preference for U-joint replacements?

Hey guys 01 ram 1500 4x4 went to change the brakes tonight and sure enought both the front axle u joints were hosed. The ones in there are stock but I was wondering does anyone have a brand they prefer that seemed to last better? I usually go moog with all my front end parts but wanted to gets some other thoughts if any of you guys have experience. My uncle has a similar truck and he goes thru u joints every year he does them and they are moogs so what do you guys think?

I went with the closest auto parts store so duralast gold for me. Just to get the extra year. Parts have held up for 30k miles so far it's been a little over a year but I broke two caps when installing and they replaced them for free so.
