Default worth it to buy beefed up axles??

What do you guys think? For example: If you guys are making 400-450whp, running on 25" slicks, and breaking axles every 4-6 passes, what would you do? Keep on replacing them with OEM spec cores everytime or just buy the driveshaftshop hub and axle combo? What would bulletproof axles put strain onto? So would the tranny or differential poop out now instead of the axles?

the ultimate setup is like JG edelbrock suspension with outer custom as well as the inner is custom. The weakest link now is the tranny after the axle problem has finally been addressed.

I know Jojo,Kenny,Rado all use the new JG suspension with no problems even running a 28*10*15 slick with no problems

Do the PRODRIVE axles and hub units only work when you use thier Drag Spool? Is the JG edlebrock better than the ProDrive??
