Default Hack and tap or a real SYE?

I'm lookin at either a 5.5 or 6.5 in LA kit and im stuck on the cheaper hack and tap with a refurb drive shaft or the legit SYE and a custom drive shaft. I dont really know the ups and downs against the 2 except for price. Anyone got advice?

id go with the full but H/t is realy cheap for you though because you dont have to worry seal flange. Go with what you can afford. I havent heard of to many people breaking the h/t.
