Question Shopping for a SYE and shaft

Today I want to order a rear shaft and SYE
Can you guys give me a input of who makes the best/strongest? or your experience?
I'm not really worried about $$ I'm expecting to spend $500 or more.
I have a AMC NP231 and putting a ford 8.8 in this week.
Thanks.

For a decent low cost solution: http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch..._Code=IR-X_HNT

For a high quality solution: http://www.rubiconexpress.com/JeepParts/

For a very high quality solution: http://www.4xshaft.com/index.html

Personally, I went with Rubicon Express.

for a 231 t-case, Advanced Adapters (AA) seems to be the most popular choice.
or there is novak, which has a nice super short one for those with a 92 and up with electric speedo sensor.

or, there is rugged ridge, which is almost exactly like the AA set up, which is actually what i have sitting in my garage, still in box.

for a shaft, you can go on the cheap and just use a front drive shaft from an auto xj.

or get a tom woods drive shaft.

Yea I was leaning toward a Tom woods shaft. and what a good sye would be.
Cause I've twisted a stock rear shaft in half before. So I'm looking for strength and wanna get my moneys worth.
