Default Replacement control arm recommendations

Have an 01 the could use control arm bushings. I’d rather just install some new arms with preinstalled bushings. Some of the reviews I’ve been readings state that some of the replacements out there are much thinner material than factory and are weaker. What has anyone used that they were satisfied with?
Also found these. Anyone used these? The price is right but I can’t see what brand they are.

I'd go with quality MOOG "problem solver"ones, they are not that much more and have a lifetime warranty. I've used the MOOG uppers before and they worked just fine. They are $27.99 each for the uppers and $36.79 each for the lowers on Rockauto.com

This is exactly the route I went. They come with the same bushings as our Jeeps did from the factory.

I went with the Moog uppers/lowers. Good quality, and price was right. I would choose them again.
