Does anybody have a favorite, or suggestions to avoid? It's
a normal 3/8-24 right hand female thread, so that's easy. The
original chuck is Jacobs, are there better brands out there?

I put a Jacobs that looks like this one on my battery drill several
years ago. I don't use it a lot but it works really well for me. I like
it better than the keyless chuck that came on the Dewalt 3/8 inch corded
drill. It clicks down when you tighten it. Price is similar to what I
paid (~$20) over 5 years ago at a local Menards store. They don't seem
to have it anymore...
