I've heard raybestos upper and lower joints are what you should get. Can't confirm it yet, I've bought them, haven't intalled yet, but they look really sturdy and well built.
I don't have a Dana 60 (yet), so I can't offer much past that.

I don't buy service grade anything if I can help it. With 90% of things on my truck, I get what I pay for. They were talking about the pro ones, and the ones I got.
But they could be solid for all I know, but when I buy crap it bites me in the *** more often than not.

Moog, and Raybestos (formerly splicer) professional grade appear to be the way to go with ford balljoints. If it's a pavement princess the motorcraft will do, but if you work her hard (and play hard as well in my case). The extra $$ will pay off.

drilled and slotted rotors are for racing applications where you don't worry about pad life. they eat brake pads very quick

Ones I saw were moog. My uncle (who taught me everything I know about trucks), said go with splicer (Raybesto), my parts guy said thats all he will carry as well. Haven't had any issues, but they are likely the most expensive of them all.
