Hinson for the outers. I don't know of any inners that are bigger than stock. Keep in mind the thread pitch on the end, in most cases, influences the shaft diameter. I've never heard of the fd inner or outer tie rods having durability or strength issues though.

Also be warned that there were two different thread pitches for the inner tie rods, I forget the details but the inner tie rods from a 1995 car won't fit the steering rack of a 1993 car, and the split is somewhere during the 1994 model year. If you're not in a hurry, it might be wise to measure the thread pitch on your original inner tie rods before buying new ones.
