Default Ball Joint part # question.

I have a 98 4X4 Blazer. Daily driver no offroading. Ball joint is squeaking/creaking and DR tire is wearing on the outer. Was going to go with Moog Ball joints but there are 2 different upper & lower part #s. I need help knowing if there is a difference beside the price.

Set1:
Upper: K5208 $24 (bolt in)
Lower: K6145T $25 (looks like a press-in type)

Set 2:
Upper: K5320 $42 (bolt in)
Lower: K5335 $39 (bolt in)

I'm not sure if there is a difference between 2wd & 4wd Ball Joints.

Also, I was looking at the AC Delco OEM parts. Is there a difference between the ACDelco & ACDelco Advantage parts?

Example:
ACDelco Upper: 45D0057 $39
ACDelco Advantage Upper: 46D0057A $17
