If you're planning on doing a lot of wheeling in deep water and mud, get greaseable U-Joints.
Otherwise, like SatiricalHen said, get non greaseable because they are stronger.
My preference is Spicer.

I don't think there is a greasable version of the Spicer 5-760X for axles. I bought Alloy X-Joints for my pos a few years ago, it has greasable caps but a solid trunion. A friend of mine just bought the Moog joints, with a hollow core and a single grease fitting--felt good looked good but I wouldn't want to use them for hard off-roading.
For the driveshaft joints I use the Spicer 5-153X joints, with a single fitting on the shoulder. There are other joints that have a fitting on the cap(s)
As others have said, greasable joints are weaker than non-greasable, but greasables have longer lifetime if you drive in water or snow and you periodically regrease them. If you don't regrease them they will have a shorter actual lifetime than the non-greasable

If you're rebuilding the CV front driveshaft, I'd also get a new centering yoke or rebuild kit for the CV. DANA SPICER 211544X
