I chose Ironman ProForge UCAs for that reason.

They're not adjustable like the SPCs and others, they have built in camber and then the alignment shop just adjusts the LCA appropriately like normal.

They use an OEM spec ball joint, so it's just normal, no additional greasing or maintenance required.

As others have said, UCAs will not help with your CV axle angle. Really that comes down to your overall lift height. The higher the lift, the higher the CV angle, the more stress on the joints. A diff drop will help, but not much in my experience, and that moves the stressor slightly off the CV axle and onto the differential pinion since the diff is now lower.

I really hafta agree with the JBA UCA's, they are solidly built, awesomely responsive customer service. I pair with the Toytec lifts, it's the preferred setup I install. I also like the way the red looks up in there.

I have the JBA's in mine. I had SPC's in a Tacoma a few years back and never cared for the way the ball joint mounted in them. Only had them about a year and sold the truck. I probably have 40k on the JBA's and no issues. Hit them with a grease gun every oil change and they are good to go. If I ever wipe out a ball joint it's a regular GM part I could easily get local.

Which UCA’s offer the most positive caster adjustment?

Ah, well I thought UCAs helped with the suspension geometry and keeping the CVs more aligned. My bad.

Sounds like JBA or SPC are the top choices.

Has anyone installed the toytec diff drop? It says that the TRD skid plate may need bigger spacers. Anyone have experience if this is true or is the diff drop kit plug and play with no figment issues on the skid plate?
