Default Good ujoints

Hello and hope all had a Merry Christmas .
What is a very good ujoint for the C2 half shafts.
There are many brands but I'm looking for strong ones to handle torque.
I've had good luck with current ones but can't remember brand, I'm hard on them, lol.
Thanks,
Frank

They may need some slight clearance to fit.

Spicers were used in the half shafts on my car. To accommodate fit a dremel tool was used to grind clearance enough to install the cross. From what I remember it wasn’t a whole lot of material removed.
