For an old CJ, sometimes you don't have much choice. Like I had to go to a Crown proportioning valve as I could not find anything else.

- '76 CJ5 with an '88 258 from a YJ.
AMC20, D30, D20, T150.
I went with Crown for my front hubs, spindles & rotors. Seem OK to me. I emailed them since I have one of the oddball 76s with the big discs, and got a quick intelligent reply. One of the parts came with Timken bearings.
I think for big heavy things, you should be safe with either. It's the cheap plastic stuff like trim and knobs where you can tell the difference between aftermarket and OEM.

There's also a place out of Sacramento, JW JEEP SUPPLY. It's a junkyard FULL of jeeps, jeep parts, and pretty much everything you can imagine. Idk what price will be though. As mentioned, Rob at Willies works out of AZ is an awesome guy. Super knowledgeable and super nice guy to talk to!
