Here's some info from when I did my front u-joints.

2004 F250 Front Axle U-Joint Replacement

I ended up using Spicer u-joints that I bought from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. They were a lot cheaper than the good ones from NAPA so I went with them.

Downside is they aren't greaseable so that may come back to haunt me one day.

The Spicer life series are great units and perfect for the replacement. You should be able to get an easy 100k out of them! Of all the U joints Spicer is the best quality I feel.

I have always had good luck with Spicer Ujoints being the non-grease type means it should be solid , not hollowed out so they are much stronger.
