Default 8.8 vs r200

Wondering what your thoughts/experience are on these two setups considering both are about the same price. I plan on running around 750hp and a 3.9 gear or similar. I know parts availability is better for the ford but it seems that the 8.8 has had some problems, some of which we don't hear about (ie. broken cases, bents tabs, fitment issues, etc). I also understand that we don't hear much about the r200 but there has also been success had with the r200, neema and joeyballs come to mind. I then saw CNC's setup which does look like a nice piece, a little more money too, but I want to wait and see what the final outcome is for that setup (not taking anything away from wadzii, the man knows his stuff). Thanks in advance.

CNC will be the way to go. I'm waiting to see what their transmission kit release. and then i might just buy both at the same time.

This is my plan also, kinda sucks because I have a corbra diff sitting in my garage already. I don't want to put a 8.8 diff in with the stock trans, my Puddymod diff is holding up just fine. If i drive the car like I really wanted to the trans would never hold up under that abuse, so I'm thinking just wait to upgrade everything all at once.

Ive got a local member who went with a R230 instead for his v8 swap. It has an extra spline on shafts so its a stronger option.

Good question, I'm sure it's expensive.
