Default Who Makes Good Ball Joints?

Hey Guys,
I want to replace the ball joints on my '79, and was wondering if any of you have had a truly great experience with any one particular brand. Also, any big differences between poly and rubber?

I only use Moog for what thats worth.A higher price for a reason.

I can't see the use of poly bushings either on a Corvette that handles so well to start with.Unless you are going to autocross or something.Some of them squeak.I see where there is polygraghite bushings available but do not know any who have used them.

NAPA and others can get Moog parts.I try to give the local guys my money when possible.Helps keep their doors open and food on their table.

Race parts is a different story.
