Havent put a rear together in 5 years. Since then ive read that motive bought out richmond. Who makes a good strong gear for the 10 bolt still? Aam, richmond, motive, yukon? Rear is gonna have tubes welded, solid pinion spacer, timpkin bearings, and girdle cover.

AAM were stock, good gears. I have Motive now and taking quite a bit of abuse. Had a set of Precision gears which were relabeled AAM, had no problem with them.

I wrench on my own cars but leave rear end gears to those more qualified. Setting them up right can be as, if not more important, than the brand. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the ones you list.
