Do they both take standard wheel bearings and spacer tube?

Yes.

Don't mind spending a bit extra if the quality is better but need an explanation if available.

MW is a long time, excellent quality axle specialist. Established good name and good quality.

Wilkinson is a long time De Tomaso importer/supplier/restorer. His offering is from a recent production, done in about 1200 pieces, probably offshore forgings and machining. Would he risk his reputation on low-grade items?

Without a side-by-side testing, saying one is better than the other is not possible.

If the forging is well done, the metal quality is controlled and the CNC machine is set-up properly, it really doesn't matter (quality wise) where something is made nowadays.

I installed the Wilkinson axles this past winter. I've put about 3000 miles on them by now and have had no issues.
