Default Help me choose control arms!

Its been a toss-up all day with me searching for what to have my girlfriend buy me for x-mas. shes getting very impatient and threatening not to get me anything at all! So i want to switch out of my rough country front lower control arms into something else. Im looking at the rock krawler, synergy, teraflex, and metal cloak. I thought about the JKS but I hear that unless i can get the expensive ones, then take a pass on them.

I do wheel moderate to heavy trails so I need flex.
I drive 15k per year so i need quiet and comfort
I do my own maintenance but dont want to constantly be replacing parts; just a little quick oil or grease here and there.
Its a present, so it cant break the bank
I live in North Jersey so road corrosion is common so I want them to be well coated

Help me please!! thanks guys

You should price Clayton arms as well. Real Jonny joints on those too (and Teraflex does not use real ones).

Check out the Metal Cloak site. You can't go wrong with none of the ones mentioned.
