Switchcraft sockets, specifically the Mono version, are the gold standard when it comes to jack sockets - turning up as standard on Fender® and Gibson® guitars consitently.
They also have the added benefit, of being roughly the same diameter as cheaper mono sockets (which turn up in Epiphone® and Squier® guitars, as well as most other far eastern brands) - so its a very simple job to upgrade to them.
