Default stock steel driveshaft vs aftermarket

when i bought my 12 bolt i also bought a stock steel ds just for now. its vibrating and i dont have much money for this but my question is, should i put new u joints in the steel one and have it balanced ($125) or save up and buy an inland empire ds ($400)?

i would run the factory steel one, or instead of paying that much to have it balanced just buy another one and cross your fingers. you can just about buy them for shipping alone. they are dirt cheap and strong
