Default Good Place to buy axles?

Need to redo my 3:73 gear change...pinion is making noise and i'm going to take it back apart and reset preload on pinion bearing. I was reading the axles in our 10 bolts are notorious for breaking....mostly due to bad metal or weak spots in manufacturing? Whats a good brand to buy and where?
Also any thoughts on changing the torsen unit for a better quality one, while it's apart again...car only has 10k on it and is not raced....just heavy footed around town.

i really doubt you'd have any problems with what your doing,, and even if they did, you can get stockers for dirt (hell i have two in my attic) do you have any major power mods other than what is listed?

The whole rearend in general is junk not just the axles. Run what you have until the posi breaks and then upgrade to a 12 bolt or 9".
