The tie rods on my 2019 Odyssey are torn and all the grease has leaked out. Should I just replace with Honda OEM or upgrade to something like the Mevotech TTX?

Mevotech and upgrade do not belong in the same sentence.

For $30 I would buy the Honda ones.
The Beck/Arnley ones on Rock Auto have a 555 on the casting in the picture. Maybe those are the well regarded Sanki 555 brand. If aftermarket, I would buy them.
Considering there isn't much $ saved, go Honda.

I’ve used Moogs on MDX. No complaints. Would always choose Honda branded products as long as the price is not outrageous.
Out of what Rock Auto has, Suspensia.
Otherwise, Honda OEM, if the price is fair.
Beck/Arnley isn't what it used to be

Suspensia? Never heard of these. You know them to be good? ThanksOut of what Rock Auto has, Suspensia.

There are some discussions on the Suspensia parts on this previous BITOG thread. They are manufactured in Turkey and I'd avoid them if they are in any way related to Deeza suspension parts.
I'd take them over Mevotech or Moog, which both seem to be that stupid greaseable crap for your car.
They are made in Turkey and possibly made by Disa, a major OE supplier. Suspensia also claims to be an OE supplier.
Beck/Arnley may or may not be 555 like said before, but they're not what they used to be, but it might still be worth rolling the dice and hoping they're still 555 if the dealer is too expensive.
OE > *. Some aftermarket - Moog if made in USA/Korea or 555 is OK. FWIW, I’ve installed Delphi on a few cars(control arms and ball joints on a Ranger, sway bar links on two, and a control arm on one more) and they seem to be working OK.
I would not consider Mevotech at all. The parts store brands(Duralast/MasterPro/Driveworks) are likely Mevotech and for their markup, you’ll have an easier warranty experience. Rock does an OK job for warranty - if you’re willing to wait or pay for a new part first.

Are they even bad? Honda sells boots. If you caught it in time I would just replace the boot. It may still last longer than some or most aftermarket parts
I would not consider Moog at all if OEM or 555 are available for a reasonable price. Actually, even if the price is unreasonable, I still wouldn't use Moog on a vehicle that new
The Korean ones are made by CTR, a major OE supplier that claims to supply 1/3 of new cars and probably most Korean cars have CTR parts from the factory. CTR sells direct thru Amazon (look for sold and shipped by CTR Auto Parts), and Partsgeek sells them too. Napa also carries CTR but at a much higher price.
CTR is definitely the best when it comes to sway bar links! They put a nut on the other end so you don't have to deal with that stupid hex key in the middle that always strips
Yeah, poor quality really puts you in a bad moog
I dunno. I would have not as many reservations if the Moog part is US/Mexican/Korean made. One thing - if I see grease nipples(unless it’s a truck) I’m gonna punt.
I see Moog as slightly better than Duralast/MasterPro.
Just because a company is an OE supplier does not mean their aftermarket line is of the same quality.
