Default Which ball joints to get?

Ive been reading the various threads and Im trying to deciede which route to go here.
Should I get stock mopar joints and just run those?
Should I get the ones from quadratech?

Crowns are the ones I think quadratec sells as well. just havet heard any long term mileage updates on em. They are about the same price as the mopar joints from the discountmopar place.
How many milesdo you have on the crowns?

Have a friend that works at Orielys and he was unable to locate a Moog unit for the upper. Found the lower, but not the upper.
