Which one do I buy Hendrix or Gforce Axles I need some opinions. I just want to know your opinion if you have these on your car. I also want to know if you did the cradle bushings.

You will see that opinions vary based on car, some people have better luck with one others with the other...
For me, the Hendrix (DSS) axles worked great, with one and both axles in place. I swapped to the geforce axles, and couldn't tell the difference from stock axles... But have read that others have had great success.
The geforce axles were better made, the DSS axles I had to send back and have them correct quality issues (axles made too short, clip grooves cut too deep.) they have great customer service and took care of me, but I was tired of finding little things wrong with them.
No cradle bushings yet... they are sitting on my shelf waiting to go in.

Gforce here, I still get a bit of hop during my 1-2 shift but I think Ive just learned to drive around it in first. This is a stock rear with no replacement bushings

sounds like the Gforce with the cradle bushings are the way to go. Creative Steel for those? I bought some mounts (motor, trans, and diff) from them haven't gotten them installed yet.

You will get answer both ways on bushings. but for the cradle bushings I would simply recommend creative steel mostly because you can rent their bushing removal tool. When I did my Revshift cradle bushings removing the old bushings was the biggest headache.

So I've had both. I ran the Hendrix Econo Axle. I did not get the right CVs to begin with, so my axle assembly was actually too short, and as a result, diff fluid ended up all over the back of my car after my first drive. The bar was right, but the CV was not, so it didn't sit properly. I ended up reusing the stock CVs that came with my car which fixed the problem.
I have a baby cam with long tubes. Not an insane amount of power... I actually broke the Hendrix axle right at the groove for the snap ring. Here's a pic
I switched to gForce axles and they've been fine for years. I autocross and track the car with no issues.
