I have used and like SKF, Spicer and GKN.  Don’t use GMG.  This is more of an issue with the smaller u-joints for the S1/2.  TC/S joints are larger and last longer.

I have read and think Hardy Spicer U joints are the best.  I also use Hardy Spicer grease.  A lot of the greases are  too thin and sling out of the bearing cups.  I bought my u-joints from englishparts.com.  P/n 18110, at least for a tcs.  They were $23 each.  The grease is Hardy Spicer SPL 1051.  I had to install longer grease fittings than were supplied to get my grease gun on the fitting.
