Torque arm or TA with relocation bracket?

Going to have my trans redone so Im upgrading a few things. Car probably wont see the track more than once a year. Is there any real difference between just replacing the torque arm - adjustable - and having it done with a relocation bracket? Need to know...

Any time you can get the torque arm off the transmission it is a good idea.

Here are a couple pictures of broken tail shaft housings that have broken from our customers.

im no expert by any means on this but im sure if im wrong someone on here will correct me by getting a relocate TQ arm it takes the stress off the tail shaft of the transmission which will save it from cracking under hard launches trust me i know personally and its not fun spending 300 bucks on a t56 tailshaft when i could of just bought the tq arm with relocation bracket for 70 bucks more..now as far as adjustable goes i saw a huge difference on the track and off once i adjusted it right it also took away my wheel hop issue that i was having..

thats just my personal opinion
