USA 4.56's here, about 1000 miles and so far so good. They are dead silent. Others have had good experience with them too.

I also have the option of Motive 3.73s for $20 more. Should I do that or just go with USA Standard? Can't decide and I wanna order the stuff tonight..

I cannot speak for the USA standard gears as I have never used them.

I have installed several Motive gear sets and have been very pleased with them.

Motive or Yukon gear is what I use and never had a problem.
