I have to replace lower ball joint they all seem to be within five dollars of each other. Is there any reason to go with one brand over the other?

GM original is higher quality than Delco (assuming its 'Gold' or 'Professional'). I bought Moog stuff for ever but have recently switched back to GM unless it's a Moog Problem Solver that, well, solves a problem. Good example is the GM pitman arms Moog has with a dual trapezoidal bearing vs a spherical one.....solves death wobble on some stuff like GM vans.

GM OE stuff has a better chance of being made in North America as it's sourced from whoever makes the stuff going to the assembly lines. Delco rotors... Chinese, GM OE rotors....USA.

I've always done MOOG (Just used on a 2010 rebuild last year) for the front, and a member on here cited some issues that MOOG quality has gone down. So far so good on mine but admittedly only 10k or so miles on them.
