I have a little play on my UJ joint and at some time in the future I want to replace it, is it best to go OEM or is there any other option ?

Thanks

Are we talking steering UJ?

Call TCB.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

It's been recommended before by others. Not sure I've ever had one on any of the 2s I've owned. The OEM is either hard to come buy or very expensive unless my memory is failing me.
