What Brand Steering Gearbox Should I Get?

Hey all. Just looking for some advise on what steering gearbox brand I should get for replacement. I've always had play in the steering since I bought this 2001 TJ. I have no clue what previous owners have done with it so I figure I should just replace it as I don't want to adjust the gears. I'll probably have some front end work done on it as well. I'm just a fair weather offroader and the JEEP is mainly stock. So any suggestions on the box would be helpful! Thanks!

Is the play in the box itself or the linkage?
 
If it needs replacing I would stay stock for a stock TJ with mild wheeling the stock one should last a long time. I’m still running the stock box on mine lifted on 35’s no issues.

What are your thoughts on re-manufactured ones. Also, any brand you would stay away from?
 
This is made, or supplied by Crown and has the Mopar part #52089046AC - Best price at Summit as usual.

Does anyone have thoughts on the Durango good or not so good? This one on Amazon says brand new.
