Default Suspension Components Moog or TRW?

I am a bit ignorant on this subject. Locally, I can get TRW or MOOG upper & lower ball joints. Most of the rest of the front end will be replaced by steeroids (rack and pinion) and Vette Brake Products Monoleaf and lower control arms, So that leaves the Ball joints and the upper control arm bushings (maybe idler arm???) to be replaced to get a new car drive... So the question is should I spend twice as much on MOOG parts, which I have heard are good, or should I get the TRW parts, which I do not know anything about in terms of how good they are?

Awhile ago I went to a very well respected suspension shop that works on alot of high dollar cars- they strongly recommended Moog. If you have a CarQuest store near you, they carry Moog in a CarQuest box. Maybe you can find a better price that way.

If I remember right, I bought an entire kit from VB&P that included all of the bushings and ball joints.
