Default Injector Options?

I've got a friend with an 01 and it's almost due for it's 75K injector swap. It has 230K and he says he has to change the injectors every 75K and now it's out of the 200K warranty.
It's a 3500 very heavy work truck & tows heavy almost every day, so what are the options for aftermarket injectors? I told him not to get another set of the OEM injectors and i would find out what would suit him best for his truck.

Thats because he's putting the stock old design injectors back in. If he would get the new style modified injector the GM put out he would only be changing them about every 250K.

Industrial Injection. 50hp,90hp,120hp. The latter is advised to run with modded CP3 or and dual CP3's.
I have the 50hp sticks. Balanced and extrude honed. Also you purchase the entire injector, made to order. Not just the nozzle.

They're gonna go out eventually. All the injectors are made from Bosch, even the aftermarket ones.
