Reccomended brand for ring gears and bearing kit?

I will buying a eaton posi, 3.73 gears and a bearing installation kit in the next few days and would like to know what brands i'd be better off with for the gears and bearings? Rear end is the 8.5 10 bolt with 28 spline axles, going with 3.73 because of only having the th350. I been looking at jegs and summit brand gear sets for $160, while the richmond and motive gear sets are a little more, richmond being $200. Would the richmonds be the better option? As far as the bearing kits, jegs sells a complete kit with with timken bearings for about $130, which I hear timken is the way to go. And theres the richmond or motive gear stuff for the same price. I'm just looking to get the better stuff before I fork over $700+ for rear end goodies.
