National or CR seals are good...National is a little better, but there's really not much difference. Get one at NAPA, or even the dealership, and you'll get a good one...none of the overseas crap.
Have them check the front diff mount/cushion while they're under there.

What is the standard time for a mechanic to replace the pinion seal?
