I went to ebay and bought the cheapest I could find. They were made by TYC and I couldnt have found better if i had tried. They are super shiny!
I run the Anzo 211140s in both of my '97s. They've been on for at least 4-5 years and I've been very happy with them. The reverse light portion of the reflector wraps around the entire base of the light on these instead of the little rectangular window on the factory tails, which give you a little extra light output from them. They still use the factory size bulbs, but eliminate the circuit boards.

I just got a set of Anzo tails a week or so ago, and they are nice, even came with new bulbs already installed. I like that they look cleaner than stock, but still have a stock feel, if that makes sense. Well made, and fit better than my old beat up OE tail lights.

Just FYI, those included bulbs are not great in my experience. When they work they're fine but they seem to burn out quickly. I had two of them fail in my red truck shortly after I put the Anzos on it, so when I did the Suburban I preemptively changed them all out for Sylvanias before I put the new tails in.
On a related note... (Warning, nerd stuff) I did some research a few years ago and discovered that if you upgrade the tail light bulbs to 3457s and simultaneously replace the front corner markers with LEDs, you end up with brighter tail lights and retain proper operation of the factory load-based flasher module. Also by switching the corners to LEDs, you eliminate the only incandescent bulb in that circuit that doesn't trigger hyper-flash if it burns out.

TYC, but you do need to be careful on install, apparenlty the curve of the plastic isn't quite right towrds the edge, and they are easily cracked. Other than that I really like them.
TYCs from RockAuto.
