I have recently heard and read that NEAPCO Brute Force non-greasables are just as good as Spicers. I am getting ready to pull the tranny in my '78 for an overhaul so I am replacing all 6 joints then as well. Soooo, in preparation for this I have already picked up the U-joints. Advance Auto stocks them and they are reasonably priced at about 16 bucks each. They look pretty darn heavy duty to me, and as a bonus they still have the soft pliable boots as opposed to the hard plastic ones that Spicer recently switched to that tend to crack upon installation. That's my 2 cents.....
