I'm sure there will be all sorts of differing opinions on this subject. Just got my rear housing back a few months ago from the shop. Went with a Richmond 3.73 ring and pinion and Auburn Carrier. I'm on a tight budget so I had to be thrifty. In speaking with the guy that sets up my gears, he said that Richmond is a very hard and strong gear which makes it noisy. If he has a choice he said right now that US Gear would be what he goes with. It's not as hard strong as Richmond but runs very quiet. I have not finished my truck yet so not on the road yet.
