Question Driveshaft Recommendations Please

Ill be gettin a strange 12 bolt installed this coming week and as a precation, and well... common sense, im gonna get a stronger driveshaft in there, since ill be running heads and cam in less than a month with hopefully over 420 at the wheels. and from what ive heard, the stocker doesnt like to hold up under heavy launching and is prone to problems when theres power being put down. I wont be doing any heavy launching till i get new clutch in there though. But figured it would be smart to do a new driveshaft while the rear end is gettin swapped and is all torn apart. My question is, What driveshafts would you guys recommend for my setup that ill be running? I tried to search, but i cant get a real good answer for this so figured id just get the answers straight from you guys if possible. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

I just got a strange thru Billingsley & am real happy w/it.
Nice piece, fast turn around unlike my 12 bolt I ordered thru them as well.
I waited till I got my 12 bolt installed then measured everything. Then I ordered the drive shaft. I got the severe duty chrome moly one but I wanted overkill.
