Default Gears for a JKU

I have an automatic 2011 Unlimited on 35's and am about to get regeared to 5:13's. Been reading and trying to find the best possible brand of gears. I have been looking at Yukons but wanted to make sure what the pro opinion was on the brand of gears.

What do you guys think is the best brand of gears to go with?

From what I've read, there is no specific gear company that is inherently prone to failure over the other. Word is that all of the current gears in production are made from the same materials. US Gear is an exception, but their ratio's are currently limited. You should be just fine with Yukon.

My choice would be Superior, just from people around me having them. I highly doubt they have any specific benefits over other brands, but i can vouch that they are quality.

Im running the Yukon 5.13s from Northridge and have had no problems after almost 25K miles. The shop that did my install said they were good quality and set up easily.
