Do they have a grease nipple? Some of the later Lockheed joints did not and are sealed for life.

No they came as a sealed unit as most new ones do now (good or bad)questionable most of my lorry joints come sealed for life now and considering the mileage seem to last. :D

I would say that they will not get the amount use that the original ones were designed for and that sealed for life will still be along time, plus they are not too expensive either. It's good that they come with the circlip too.

Dont get inspired by the Borg & Beck name. It has nothing to do with the good old Borg& Beck. Today it is just a brand they bought. But they can be good quality despite that ofcourse.

I use delphi joints, TC27. They are pretty much the same as the original part. Probably the same tooling as delhi today is the spinoff from many of the genuine suppliers to GM.
