After having the lude checked over, I found out I need CV Boots, Tie Rods(outer), and Upper control arms.
I can get good prices from our h-t sponsors, but they sell the no-name brand parts.
Will it matter for these particular parts?

not really but if the cv boots i ripped up i would replace the shafts all together

depends.. if you know what u are doing and have done lots of boots before you will be alright, they are a pain and the axels can fall apart, i put 2 new boots on one axle and replaced the other, only like 70 for a whole axle, 24 for 2 new boots.. do both if you are ganna do one<boots>, much easier..

well, for an OE axle, its actually a lot of money, and ive heard bad things about other options...
im more concerned with the OE vs Aftermarket.. what do you guys think?

i found a shop that will rebuild MY axles for 60$ a side. personally i think its better than buying someone elses rebuilt axles.. afterall you know how hard yours have been driven / worn out prior to rebuild. i personally wouldnt opt for new oem, not worth it to ME.

Just go to Autozone and buy both for like $120 plus tax. They have a lifetime warranty if they go bad or whatever ( I use to work there ). That is what I am doing with my struts right now.

^ IIRC same with Napa (ever snap an axle they'll replace it no questions asked)

id listen to autozone guy cant beat a lifetime warranty on the whole shaft if you plan on doing just the boots get some gloves and patience they got all those tiny screws in them absolutely stupid
