Front driveshaft axle seal

Is there an outstanding preference with genuine vs aftermarket oil seals in front axle in anyone’s experience?

I don't think there is a big preference but remember to install the seals the correct way.

Getting the seal in is not bad, but have a length of the right diameter tubing ready. If I remember correctly I used PVC.

The tapered top of an

aluminum beer can is the perfect diameter.
