Upper Front Ball Joint Repair?

In the last 1,500 miles on my 2012 SEL 3.0 V6 I've been getting a squeaking sound. About 53,000 miles on it. Found the boot on the upper ball joint ripped, rusty inside. Sprayed some white lithium grease in it, no more noises.
Any ideas on what I should pay to have this fixed? Is it difficult to do myself if I have access to a car lift? It appears the lowers suck, but the upper doesn't seem too bad. Only thing would be getting an alignment afterwards. Should I get an adjustable upper ball joint or no?

Is this dealer work or any dependable shop?

Also... worth doing the left side upper at the same time?
