Ball joints

I am rebuilding a '78 Dana 44HD front axle for my supercab. Napa has ball joints from Dana/Spicer for $41.00 each or from MRC for $18.00 each. Both have lifetime warranties. Any opinions on which to use? I don't mind spending extra money on parts that will last a while but I don't like throwing it away either.

Thanks,

Chad :7
