Who makes the best door latches??????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My doors are aligned pretty nicely and have been adjusted 10 times with no improvement. Weatherstrip is broken in and still have issues when windows are down. My issue is both doors have to be slammed pretty good to latch. They have the original latches and strikers that look pretty worn. Who makes the best new latches???? Also I have a Phillips screw holding the old latch in that's frozen and stripped. I am guessing that drilling it out is my best option?

Anything else I should replace while I am in there? The doors do have to be pushed in when I lock them from the outside!!!!
