Are the new U-Joints that are being manufactured of good quality, equal to the originals? - or should I try to find an NOS or good used joint? The original joint in my 13 has about .025" play between the knuckle and the bore's they reside in. I'm guessing this is a little too much so I am considering buying a new one.

Wait until Hershey! Good used u-joints are pretty common.

I put a brand-new one in my '24 Touring. I haven't had any issues with it at all. It looks like it's very well made, and is pretty much exactly identical to the original.

Very good used ones show up on ebay regularly. I bought three that were nearly N.O.S. a while back for Thirty Bucks. Just keep your eyes open, look at the pictures very closely and don't get in a hurry. Dave
