Need help deciding which Axle Brand to use.

Anyone have an opinion on these Axle brands: Dorman, Excel (Richmond), Ten Factory, Yukon... I need to replace both rear axle's, bearings and seals.!! Thanks.

For something like an axle I would only use OEM. Who knows if an aftermarket one will take the same stress or not.

Exactly.....but the OEM are way to expensive. So I thought surely, one of the others should work. I just don't want to burn new bearings into the axle within a year...as I have heard about Dorman.. Anyone else have experience with aftermarket axles..?
