I like greaseable joints but I also give them a shot of grease with every oil change. If you're lazy, get a non-greaseable u-joint. If you regularly pound on the car hard, get a non-greaseable u-joint as the body is a little more rigid in strength.
You may have to get the driveshaft rebalanced if replacing the yoke. Be on the lookout for vibrations after the work is done.

I agree with this.
This isn't to Moog bash, because I've used plenty of their products, but their Ujoints are too long. I read reviews saying that, bought them anyway because they were cheaper and then couldn't get them to go in. Spent a few more dollars on same size spicer joits and they installed easily.
I also agree with solid U joints as a strength concern. My driveline guy told me a solid 1310 was stronger than a greaseable larger joint.
