What does everyone think is the best aluminum diff housing option and why?

I find it completely worthless to spend the money on them if they do not offer oversized bearings. So far only ones that clearly state oversized bearings I can find are:
1. Taylor
2. Innovative-RC
3. MOD rear bearing upgrade for the stock housing. I currently have this and been it's been great so far. Will see how things go on with the elec conv.

Reasons for upgrading: Just got a HW max4/70125, yes I know electric is complete sin with this truck.
I can no longer stomach dusting motors and the maintenance for changing air filters twice per tank and still dusting filters. Tried V1 stock/outerware, DT1 tripple stage/outerware for the V1 stock housings, Crazy Stu with tripple stage DT1/outerware, to now a uni 2 stage that's 3.5" x 6" p/n UP-6182AST with an outerwear on the crazy stu intake. It's huge and still eating dirt, tried a bunch of different filter oils to PJ1, Belray, ect.

Probably be trading motor dusting for diff/tire carnage but need something new. Really want to 5iveT's a gasser and sparky version but one is expensive enough along with the maintenance that goes with it. Just wasted another set of center diff bearings again to so a Modified RC center support is on the way. Had this truck since 2015 and it's been a blast other than the cost associated with it and maintenance it's needed.
 
MOD Diff inserts for the rear, many options for the center case.

I got mine with the rcmaxx/taylor rc combo chassis.

Those parts are good for life as long as you don't go full speed into curbs purposely.
