Mobil 1 75W-90 in both if you don't tow. Use Mobil 1 75W-140 instead in the rear if you do tow.

Royal Purple 75W90 for me. The best in my opinion. Definitely take a look at your diff fluid, I did mine at about 20k miles. Really easy fluid to change and you will notice a difference in driving.

Royal Purple 75w90 for me as well. It is insane how easy it is to do the change yourself, especially with the JK having drain plugs so you don't even need to crack the seal on your diff.

X3 on this. RP is the best. I use all their products in my jeep. Coolant, oil, power steering, transfer case, diffs. Jeep runs smooth... Really a noticeable difference.

YES! Another oil thread!

Amsoil if it is easily available in your area, if not Mobil-1.
