Default Rough County SYE and CV recommended?

I am going to be buying the 4.5" X-Series lift kit and realize that I'll need an SYE so how does Rough Country's SYE and CV compare to the competition?

Other than being cheaper and other than being new as well what are the benefits of a new SYE and CV? I'm trying to weigh the Pros and Cons.

sye eliminates the slip yoke drive shaft if you break a u jiont or shaft with the slip yoke unless you have a nother your scrwed all the fluid comes out of the tc the cv shaft decreases rear shaft angle less chance of vibe

rough country gets most of there parts from the same place that fabtech and pro comp do. an SYE is a little better than a hack n tap. but really it depends on your install skills and how you will be beatting it up on the trails.

I've also been looking at the Rough Country SYE. From what I can find, the H&T kit and the Rough Country SYE are both $200. Anyone seen the H&T cheaper? Because unless the Rough Country is a low quality part, it seems like the way to go. These are specifically what I'm looking at

That only applies to 95 and older XJs. newer model donot have internal slip yoke.

The RC is an Advanced Adapter SYE, among the best available. HacknTap is cheaper and easier to do, but is weaker, only due to it uses the stock output shaft.

I got my sye from advanced adaptors for $200 and I've been beating the crap out of it since with no probs and I've swapped it through 2 np231's Went from older to newer years reason why.
The rc one I'm unsure of and I never even knew they sold one.
But I love the one I have. No vibes or any issue's.
