I am looking into building either some d44 or d60 axles and was wondering if more or less splines are better and why

more splines = thicker

thicker = tougher

Nice explanation.

Isn't this the part where someone posts the whole "If you _____ know, then you're in ____ _____ _____." comment?

Basically, he's saying if you have to ask which is better, maybe you've got more research time in front of you.

More splines means more contact pattern so basically stronger. Size makes a difference as well. A D60 30 spline shaft is stronger than a D44 30 spline shaft.
