Default rearend gears what brand?

hey guys i am in the process of re gearing my truck i wanted to go with 4.88 gears but no one seems to have them for the 9.25 ifs front axle so i decided to go with 4.56 but the only two brands of gears i can find in stock are motive gears and genuine brand. do any of you have any input on these two gear companies? i would rather use precision or us gear but there out of stock for a couple of months.and of course i dont want to wait that long.

hey guys thanks for the input i was just afraid of going with the motive gears because they were the cheapest around and usually that means the quality is not the best, tiburon did you go with the regular motive gears or there oem replacement gears? thanks

When I baught mine I told them I wanted the quetest gears available regardless of price and they recommended Motive oem replacement gears. I believe I paid $189 for them.
