Question W123 Tie Rods - which brand?

I need new tie rods (little bend and grease boots shot. I know very little about them. Ill follow dieselgiants guide for replacing mine.

Does anyone have a brand preference? Here at Mshop, there are three brands ranging from 50 to 35 $. Or should I go OEM?

Any other tips or comments?

thanks,
dd

I would buy Febi or Lemforder. Moog is often reboxed TRW or vice versa. Moog or TRW are okay, but I would not pay more for them.
