05 excursion 6.0 - modifying/ bulletproofing brands

05 excursion 6.0 - When modifying/ bulletproofing is it better to find a brand that you like and buy exclusively from them or to switch between brands getting the best from each company? Here are some parts I am looking at.

-Turner with display
- Coolant filter
- Fuel filter
- Blue spring kit
- radiator

You can get the same radiator that Bulletproof Diesel sells from Performance Radiator for substantially cheaper. I got it for $400 to my door. Just call.

Coolant- CAT ELC, Rotella ELC, Final Charge ELC

Injectors- Ford, Holders Diesel, Full Force Diesel

HPOP- Not sure if your '05 has an '04 engine but if it does Terminator Engineering, Dieselsite, and CNC Fab make superior pumps to the stock round HPOP. The V4 style HPOP rarely fails.
