Question about NAPA ujoints and ball joints

I have read almost all the post about ujoints and ball joints already but my question is about the ones that NAPA carries for my truck. What is everyones thoughts about the ones they carry. I will be replacing all u joints and ball joints on the front axle at the same time and they will be greaseable. So give me your thoughts on these please. Thanks in advance.

NAPA has two lines, but the expensive ones and you will have no problems!! I've used many many of them and they last a long time if you keep them greased.

I have had the greasable Napa u-joints for 60,000 miles. Seem OK.... but they are thirsty devils and require pointed nozzle fitting for grease gun.

Always wondered if they are like greaseable ball joints.......
advantage - greasable
disadvantage - weaker

Anyone know the facts?

Napa quoted me $87.88 each for ball joints for the NAPA Chassis and $39.98 each for the u joints again the Napa brand. What do you guys think or should I be looking at another brand.
