99 time out of 100 the stock or stock style balljoint will have plenty of travel IF and thats a big ass IF, the balljoints are at lock when layed out, then you have all that travel until you lock at the top.
Uniballs are great because they look cool and you have all that extra travel. however some styles of uniballs have no way to grease them and therefore will eventually start to rattle like a crappy heim joint. The Uniball will fit just about anything you can drill the spindle on as well.
The look of the balljoint vs the unball is also a big factor on custom rides.
I prefer to use cool looking screw in balljoints, and sometimes the aluminum covers they make for them.
its all a matter of choice after weighing all the factors. Afco racing sells some tight ass screw in balljoints that look killer, fit most spindles, are tough as hell, dont need grease and have plenty of travel...
