That will really depends on what setup you have or will have, and what are you doing with the truck. lifted less than 2" you don't even need them, they're beneficial from 2-3" front lift, then you have street only, offroad slow pace which is what everyone with a set of 5100's or Eibachs will do, offroad fast pace with Fox or King 2.5 shocks which will see a lot of articulation and suspension cycles at speed, or race only with long travel King or Fox setups which i haven't seen yet for the DT truck., etc. There are multiple bushings, arm designs (tubular, boxed up) Heims (typically found in race only applications) and BJ's/uniballs available depending on what you need UCA's for and whether or not you have stock travel struts, extended travel or long travel. Rubber bushings will last longer and require no maintenance, same with HD BJs and will be better if you live in the salt belt, or doesn't need extended travel. Then you have poly bushings that require more maintenance (you have to grease often, and they can be a bit noisy), or Uniballs for max offroading strenght, they'll be preferred with Kings, Fox or any other race shocks that still use your mid travel arms to perform... Delta Joins from Icon is the new standard in this segment. as they combine a BJ and uniball in their approach, super neat joint.... , then you have heims instead of poly bushings for absolute max travel and dexterity if you're jumping the vehicle and giving it pure hell, You'll find on purposedly built race trucks and they're more expensive as well.

If you're asking then i'd think you don't know much about UCA's so as a suggestion watch this video to understand what they do in your IFS and pretty much all the BJ/uniball/Heims options you will see out there. 33 min long but well worth it if you ddin't know much about aftermarket UCA's Brand doesn't really matter as long as you paying for the good bushings and joints. That's why you have more expensive options. Stay away from the super cheapy ones they have gargabe bushings, the stockers will outperform the $200-$300 UCA's with chinesse bushings and chinesse joints.
