Wow thats alot. Everyone will suggest moogs. But imo its just the name your getting with those. The duralast ones with the greasable fitting are just as good. And readily available at autozone. And you know greasable ball joints are not always better. Ive heard some mixed reviews on the greaseable ones. But if your any good with mechanics id suggest trying replacing them yourself.

I had the passenger side upper/lowers replaced on mine last year. I went and bought Moog ball joints, I think they were around $200. Since I wasn't able to do it myself at the time I dropped it off at shop next to where I work one morning. Went to pick it up after work and was charged $130.

ive installed both house brand oreilly and moog before on many different trucks and from just comparing them side by side the moog is a beefier unit built to last. i personally dont like doing labor twice so i do it once with the right parts and be done. moog isnt just a name like you say.
The other brand id recommend is XRF.

I just did this to my truck last weekend. i got MOOG upper A arms and lower ball joints from rockauto for around 170. after i received the parts, i went to advance auto and rented the master ball joint tool for $100. (you get the money back after you return it). the only other thing you need to get this accomplished is a pickle fork and a impact gun and a jack, if you dont have those.
so i replace both upper and lower ball joints on both sides for $170!!
i also got a alignment after that so add 70 more.
there is a video on youtube on how to install them. ill link it here later.
