Any greaseable one that has the fitting in the base is going to need some extra work on your part when servicing. There is no clearance between the base of the ball-joint and the axle shaft u-joint. So you need to use a cap in the grease hole for normal driving, then insert a grease fitting (I use the 45 degree type) for adding grease.
If the grease fitting is in the top or side somehow though, that would not be any trouble.
I'm sure the non-greasable ones are great for peace of mind for not having to bother, but I still like the greaseable kind for simply being greaseable!
If your Bronco is never going to see daily driving or many miles while you have it, or you don't intend to get it wet in creek crossings and sitting in the snow, I can't see any downside to being non-greaseable.
Can't help on Brand. I've always trusted TRW, Moog, Timken, Dana/Spicer and other bearing and rod end names (is TRW even a thing anymore?) and have never had bad luck with any of them.
I will say that while shopping by price alone these days will often get you what you paid for when it comes to vintage car and truck parts.%), the price you quoted at Jeff's and Tom's seems to be in line with at least one good name.
We're selling Dana/Spicer for a similar price per pair to the less expensive ones you list at Tom's and Jeff's, so maybe they're selling the same stuff instead of some unknown name import. If that's the case then I wouldn't hesitate to use what they're selling.
That $40 bucks per unit for the Moog is not actually out of line either. I paid something like $32 a piece 30 years ago. Sounds like a reasonable change for that amount of time.
But as much as I like their stuff, I can't see Moog being twice the part for twice the price of the Dana/Spicer stuff either.
Good luck!
Paul
