Thats like asking do you want fries with that!! In my PERSONAL opinion, the whole idea that; "If we make everything greasless so no one can put the wrong grease in it" is crap. Now I know certain greases are for certain things, but even the wrong grease is better than no grease. So go with the zerks.

Most times you wont be able to grease the ujoints on the truck anyways. I have greaseble ones on my front driveshaft which I can lube, But cant lube the ones on the rear without pulling the driveshaft off.

possibly because you have straight zerks and not ones with either a 45 or 90 degree angle. Ive never had to remove a driveshaft just to grease the joints. Not to mention greasing a U-joint while its not bolted in will push the cups off if its a flange type joint.

Yeah they are straight, what the Ujoints came with.I just take the drive shaft off, like 2 minutes, Put the ends in the vise and grease them up. Nice time to grease the slip yoke anyways.
