AEV Geo brackets vs RC X-Flex adjustable front LCAs

What I'm trying to get at I suppose is this. For the money, buy the brackets. If you are going to buy control arms there are better options for hardly more cash. I too got caught up in the cost of them being under 200, and 700 for the set. Truth is for barely more I had way better arms built locally.
I'm really waiting for someone to come in and talk me out of the RC LCA's. I already know they're not the best LCA available, I just need someone to tell me they're total sh*t. If someone was to say, "I had those and the joints blew after 6 months of nothing but DD, I had to constantly be re-adjusting them and taking my rig in for alignment every other week, grease was continually oozing out of them..etc.etc..etc.
So far most of the advise has been, go with the AEV brackets since we don't trust Rough Country and I'm in that same boat. I'm just trying to figure out if they might be "good enough" for this particular instance. I think most everyone would go with an adjustable LCA over a relocation bracket for caster correction, so that's why I'm considering the RC adjustable LCA might be a better direction for me to go towards.

I've had the RC LCAs on our JK for about 4 months and no complaints so far. I've also had the weight of the front end resting on the center of one on a rock and it held up fine. Only time will tell on the joint longevity.
We got adjustable CAs over the brackets because I can guarantee they would get hit alot. The factory mounts have rock rash...
