Default Wj tie rod ends, whats a good upgrade?

Im pretty sure I should replace my tie rod ends. Are there upgraded tie rod ends better suited for a dd/weekend warrior grand Cherokee.

Or you can replace your xj tie rod and ends with a V8 zj tie rod and ends, bolts on and a good cheep upgrade you can find at the junkyard.

Oh didn't see you had a grand Cherokee, if it's a 4.0 the V8 tie rod is still an upgrade.
