Default front axle and pinion seal brand?

I have the front axle seal out on the passenger side of the 2001 cherokee as well as the pinion seal.

I dont want crappy cheap seals. I would like to install some nicer units. I know some people get away with $4 seals from Checker auto, but I like something a bit better.

What is everyone using? part number?

Any seal will last, IF:
You polish the seal surface on the axle as well as the pinion with a med grit emery or sand paper.

NO seal will seal right, if this area is neglected or grooved, as they commonly get over time.
