Default Aftermarket axles

Recently been having some vibration issues at throttle. Assuming it is the common cv wear I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good aftermarket axle recommendations. So far I've heard of the insane axles but have heard some bad reviews and was leaning towards the driveshaft shop stage 2 that i have read up on.

I know about the cv swap but rather change to something stronger as I most likely go s/c next year.

Axles are not the week point of the drive train, so either do the cv swap or pony up for some new oem axles. I believe axle spacers will also fix this issue, as it will cause the bearings to ride on a new point instead of the worn one its on.

Not to mention most aftermarket axles are known to cause excessive, annoying drivetrain vibes. Yeah, thats mostly for economy aftermarket stuff, not performance stuff. But unless its a drag car or something that will see a lot of hard launches (autocross?), it doesn't seem worth the risk that such vibes might develop over time, even with quality aftermarket performance axles.
