Default which swivel socket brands have the size stamped?
Gearwrench says that they have it both stamped and laser etched but I have heard otherwise and I also cannot find a single picture online of a socket with the stamp.

What about Grey Pneumatic? I heard the answer is no.

Sunnex?

I know the Craftsmans have both stamp and laser I can see that from the pictures. They are considerable more expensive though since Sears has the monopoly on them.

I don't want to buy the tool truck brand since I am not turning wrenches these days enough to justify the price.

Are you wanting chrome or impact?

SK still has them stamped. I believe Proto does as well

As for truck prices, look here at the classifieds or ebay for cheaper prices on Mac & Snap On swivel sockets.

Not sure about their impacts, but Proto chromed have it stamped and in LARGE FONT so you can SEE them! Best of both worlds!
