Question What upper control arms should I get?

I have a 2009 Suburban, and I need to replace both my front upper control arms, more specifically the ball joint, but I figured it is easier to just replace the whole control arm. I looked for some on Rockauto, but I am not sure which brands are reputable.
Here is a screenshot of what is available from Rockauto. Is it fine if I get the cheaper ones, or will that cause problems? What should I get?

the blue ones, or the problem solvers if you can afford them.
OEM are well made but they may not come with zerk fittings so check that first. if you grease regularly you can make them last longer.

or pink. they're all reputable brands. make sure there's grease points if you want to keep the truck longer.
