What gear is everyone running

Brand of gear has nothing to do with gear noise. That's 100% on the installer. If gears whine, it's because they were installed wrong. End of story.
I have to disagree.
I just put a brand new Richmond 4.10 with all new bearings etc. Suregrip I run has .001 run out, set up pinion depth and back lash perfectly with depth gauge and dial indicator. They are noisy and the Richmond name is no longer stamped on the gear. Google it and you will see they were bought by US Standard or something.
