Quality is a good thing. There are other aspects to consider tho..

only 2 joints mentioned above.
The QA1 joints that I have no info about. And the lack of an actual picture does not make me feel good. But, I run QA joints on my 40 and they make good stuff...

Currie's Johnny Joints. (which Currie, Poly, MAD 4x4, TG and lots of others sell)
Good stuff. I am running one at the axle end of a wishbone 3 link on Bob. They are nice units. I do like the RE joints better just because of the threaded side. But I do not believe they make a forged, threaded end. Weld on only.. Which works just fine. I have 7 of them on my 40. Nice and easy to tighten over time...

I see there you said nice and easy to tighten up.

So the first joint has a circlip holding it together, does that mean once they wear out alittle the joint needs to be renewed whereas the adjustable ones can be tightened?

Currie makes washers tat are different thicknesses to make up for adjustments.

I prefer the RE threaded units..
