Gears for 9inch
I am partial to Motive, but I work there, so........
I wouldnt go with pro gears (9310) if it will be used on the street. You can use the performance gears or the lightweight AX gears for a few dollars more. They save a couple of pounds w/o giving up strength.

I forgot to say that the main reason that I have heard that Motive are the best is because of whining issues. They tend to whine less.
Are particular Motive gears (performance or the AX) better as far as less whining?

We get very few noise returns on the preformance or AX lines. They are double lapped and cnc machined. They are primarily designed for circle track use, so they withstand the added heat cycles of street driving, but are also strong enough to use in serious street/strip type vehicles. Unless you are into the single digits you wont need a pro gear, a performance gear would be fine.

I've always been a fan of Yukon. Usually when there's a difference that balances around "heavy duty" or "super performance" its a thicker Gear. Reason for this of course is the higher the gear the more apparent it is to failing/breaking. The price difference is usually not much (sorry cant help on exact pricing), but the drive difference is different, the heavier duty gears are sposed to be louder than the lighter duty gears, I've never had this but I'm also usually 3 or so feet above the axles I build.

As far as thicker gear sets, that is only for different applications. If 2 brands of gears are for the same application they are the same thickness and made from almost the same material. Price difference between a performance and regular gear is minimal, 20-40 depending on where you buy it.
