Default Which brand ball joints?

I've been trying to decide which ball joints I should get for my '90 XJ and the reviews are all over the place: "get brand X" / "brand X sucks"; "get brand Z" / "brand Z used to be good but now they suck".

My XJ is my DD with some mild off-road use (4.7 stroker, 4" lift, 33" tires), and I've had it for 15+ years and plan on keeping it another 15 years. I don't mind spending $$$ on it, but I don't want to spend way more than I need and I definitely don't want to waste money on crappy parts. What would you all suggest? Thanks!

Spicer ball joints, that's what the OEM ones are.
