I have the Global West single spherical LCAs. I do not like them. Mine throw out quite a bit of noise and you can't just replace the bearings like you can on "normal" rod ends.
If I could go back, I would buy a set of LG Motorsports adjustable aluminium LCAs. They have quality rod ends that will last quite a while before making noise. When they finally do start to make noise, you can just replace the ends.

I've taken a few friends for a ride so they can hear for themselves. It really depends on how much tolerance you have for noise.
Actually, if you can see what makes the noise, you'd wonder why a narrower (is that a word?) housing for the bearing was not possible?
When you twist the arm between the the mounting brackets, it's the housing ends that bang back and forth between the mounting brackets on the body and axle ends.
The difference between the two types of LCAs are significant.
