Default Axles. What are my options ?

Ok so my car has some vibrations and I believe it to be the axles. When I got the car it had stock suspension and was at 62k now at 79k the vibrations have gotten really annoying and want to replace my axles.
Also the reason for wanting to replace my axles is because I plan to lower the car espilir springs and will be putting new rims and tires.

So what are my options ?
OEM from honda. they are pricey $925 shipped
Driveshaft Shop 2.9 axles $895 shipped
or
I saw that autozone is now offering axles for the s2000. $79.99 per axle.

The autozone axles are cheap but I wonder how long will they last ?
What other options are out there ?

Swap the drive buckets side to side, $0.00 I wouldnt give up your oem axles for some autozone garbage.

Keep the oem and do the bucket swap.

The only thing autozone axles are known for is being junk.

Well.. you could swap the buckets with grease and all but IMO its not a bad idea to put fresh CV grease in them.
So $0.00 is a little too optimistic
