Whats everyones preference on u joints?

Locomotion said
FWIW, any u-joint that has a grease fitting in the "cross" between the bearing caps should be installed so the fitting hole is under load/compression.
I didn't know that Spicer solids were not available in 7290. I've only used 7260 and more recently, 1350 in my Aspen wagon on the Dana 60 end.

on summit it says the 5-811x is not solid but i thought all u joints without grease fittings were considered solid. Lakewood makes solid chromoly ones. May go that route
