It might be a bit more expensive, but I would go toward the Rock Krawler(RK) lift, solid arms, strong joints, it should be the last lift you would have to put on your Jeep. Everyone is going to have an opinion on which they like best, my only problem with Tera Flex is I have seen their arms bend in the past, and they seemed to bend pretty easy. The RE arms I have only seen bend once, and it was a pretty hard hit. Both those lifts are tubed arms, the RK kit is solid arms, much harder to bend.
Also over the last years the times spent on the ramp(not indiciative of real world wheeling) the only long arm kit that out flexed my short arm kit every time was the RK. I think it has to do with the engineering behind the lift. It is my preference for lift kits for Jeeps.

If its a DD get something with rubber bushings on the control arms.

Dd?
DD is Daily driver..
My suggestion is either Rubicon Express or RockKrawler suspensions.
TeraFlex long arm kit requires that you cut your transmission crossmember and then bolt the lower control arm mount and the crossmember together.
The Rubicon Express kits are well proven and have a very relaible history.
RockKrawler build very very stout lift components and stands behind thier products.

I would recommend looking at the TNT Customs LA kit as well. A but more $ but a very stout kit. Think Desert Fab is a dealer for them as well.
