Welcome!! Rear end depends on how you are going to use it. This has been discussed a lot, the search box at the top defaulted to this site will find a bunch of threads. I have abused lots of stock 10" rear ends over the years and found the universals would break before the rear end would. Unless you are building a big horsepower engine to REALLY abuse, there are lots of choices. Width will be a big factor with the S-10 AD swap assuming you want relatively stock parts in case you have a problem out on the road.
