The stronger axles are the axles with the larger u-joints. Unless you can find some chromoly shafts in one. Haha. Larger u-joints are in the newer Cherokees I believe, not sure exact range but if you stick to the 96-99 range you should be safe.
That said, wait for someone else to chime in with exact years before you go and pull them

X 2, 95 and newer XJs with ABS have the axles with the bigger 297 U-joints. That is what I upgraded my 91 XJ front D30 to (axle shafts from a 95 w/abs). haven't had a single axle issue since.
