Default Rear Diff Ring & Pinon source

Looks like I'll be putting together a new diff over the winter (need to increase the engine rpm at sloth speeds to get rid of a lug) so I'll be looking to purchase a set of 3.55 gears.
Any input, good or bad, about manufacturers or sources these days?
Nitro, Motive, Richmond, US, ???
Summit, Toms?

Not building a drag or track diff so I'm not looking for the indestructible version, just don't want to buy the ones everyone is having issues with lately either..

What kind of power are you making? I have a set of new 3.70 motive performance gears if you are interested feel free to send pm. I am going the 12 bolt route and will not be using them.

475/585 on the computer so maybe 425/525 sound more reasonable in reality (never bother with a dyno this last de-tune)

I looked to 3.70 but it'll put me up too a bit higher than I want on the highway (no overdrive planned at this point)

Tom's is US gear, isn't it? When I did my 3.08->3.73 swap I looked into it and US gear was the one Tracdogg2 recommended.
