Opinio on new ball joints and sway links

i just changed out my lower control arm bushings with energy suspension bushings. unfortunatly, the ball joints ripped and the sway bar links are gone. so i gotta change those out. i have two choices
orielly's has the moog parts i have heard are so good with lifetime warranty, the ball joint 39 each and the links are 27 each, about 140 taxes and all.
the other choice are autozone's duralast ball joint and links, wich are bout the same price with lifetime warranty, but i get a discount on them that comes out to 115 with taxes and all.
so just let me know what yall have used, duralast or moog, how long have you had them, and if any problems yet.
thanks

I think most people would say the extra 25 bucks is worth it for Moog, though my Moog end links seemed not to last as long as they should've.

must be some cheapo chinese crap to cost so little. The same seller is selling identical sets with different pictures and even different prices. Something is not kosher with that...

I wouldn't say that. The control arms will probably last you for a couple years, they'll rust instantly though...
