What are your thought on these parts to replace stock tie rods ends, etc?

Well, you're talking almost $200 to basically make a factory TR. You can make an aluminum TR with 1-ton ends for ~150, or even buy the Rought Stuff aluminum TR for about that cost, so buying AC Delco parts makes no sense. As far as the drag link, if you have a bad end and the factory DL is fine for your application, then that is what it is. I think the Moog end used to be a bit cheaper, closer to $50, but that was a while ago. Things may have changed since then. I used to have one I'd send you for the cost of shipping, but got tired of looking at that crap sitting around.

Sorry, it's been a while since i looked at these TRs and my figures are off. The Ruff Stuff one I could have sworn was around $250 but it's $295, and DIY version, which mind you is simply ordering the bar tapped and threaded as you need for the GM ends is around $200. Here is a link should you care to consider it -

You'd get a lot better TR that way, but if factory is suitable for you, you might be able to find a take off one for practically free.
