The reluctor ring is in the bearing so that doesn't play a part.
My outer joint was failed from a boot that tore and I ignored too long. I wasn't happy long term with some generic full axles I bought via Amazon for wife's e53 so I bought just the outer joint from FCP so I could use OEM grade. The kit is amazing but I did have problems with the spring clip. Fortunately I had a spare from a boot repair kit I had.
A recent thread on the subject had very high reviews on the cardone and I could see using in my car once my inner joints fail.
Search for that thread, I think the guy ended up getting the outer joint OEM like I did.
