1st gen drop spindles are $120 while 99 Blazer Xtreme 2wd drop spindles are $328.
You can usually find some cheap stock 1st gen S10 spindles for sale by people who have installed dropped spindles.
If you are just looking for 5 lug wheels and slightly improved braking Standard S10 spindles are the ticket.
99 S10 Blazer Xtreme 2wd spindles use the dual piston calipers. They have the sealed bearings pressed onto a hub held to the spindle by 3 bolts.
The dual piston setup is hard to find in the junkyard and the parts will cost more to replace but braking will be improved a bit over the 1st gen S10.
