Default Which driveshaft should I use?

Few more parts to go on my build. 383, should put down about 450 to the wheels. I have a stock steel and a stock aluminum. Which one should I use or should I look aftermarket? Just the stock 10 bolt right now.

FWIW, I am putting down the numbers in sig with a Denny's nitrous-ready.

And I couldn't disagree more. On a stockish application aluminum has it's benefits, but on a higher HP build like his, steel is a must.

Both stockers are crap, however I would trust the steel to more hp. Bottom line, be safe and go with an aftermarket.
