Anything under $100 is fine regarding the hubs, i recall Warn Premiums (part #20990 if memory serves) at Amazon being around $77, if your current auto hubs have 5 bolts in the cap you only need the replacement hubs, if they have 3, you need an aditional kit, just enter Warn's page and research a little for the part number of the kit.

Get the part number FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF THE MANUAL HUB and ask whichever store you decide to buy from if they carry them.

I don't see any other difference, but i do prefer the all alloy dial and would gladly pay the difference. Mile Marker is also a good brand, you could check their product, and i've heard good things about Superwinch, but yes, Warn is the preferred replacement.
