Motive blue box. Or gm. Yukon is nice but expensive. Richmond is known to be noisy but not the always. People have luck with the summit brand iirc motive makes them.

You should post this to the gears and axel section.

My motive 4.10s have been doing pretty well, with little noise, for the past 2 years.

Moved to gears. I've heard GM is the best as well, but can't find them.

GM gears ARE available but do you want to pay the price. $574.

AAM made them HERE in the USA for GM, so IF you can find those, they might be a little bit less coin (but I am not sure IF there were differences {heat treatment/lapping/hardening/coatings/etc.} between what AAM offered to the aftermarket, and what they supplied to GM).
