Broken driveshaft

broke the drive shaft in my camino. Going to replace but dont know if aluminum shafts are worth the extra cost. Where Im getting it only steel ones are covered by their twist break replacement policy. Any thoughts on this are welcome.

The PST 3.5" aluminum driveshafts are lighter than the steel ones, and are rated at 1000 hp and come with a liftetime guarantee.
