The aluminum ones tend to break more so over the steel. I've got my steel one hanging around for back up. I have seen several post/threads on here lately about guys snapping their aluminum DS. As far as your 2.73's go 
you need to ditch em' and bump it up in gear

yeah i'm getting 3.73s in my 12-bolt!!!
but as far as the Al vs. steel shafts, the steel ones tend to vibrate so badly that they take out tranny tail housings at high rpms, hence the 3.23 and 3.42 cars got aluminum. but as someone said, just take a quick peak under your car: silver looking = Al, rusty and brown = steel
