I read once that if a slip joint is made such that the two pieces will notv line up perfectly in phase, if as you say they are a tooth off either way, that it was best to have the front most yoke in advance of the rear most yoke considering drive shaft rotation direction. Mine is very near perfect, just by luck I rekon. I made this for me long ago while replaciung my U-joints.

I brought my driveshaft to a pro shop and it's fixed. They had to cut and reweld the slip/coupling yoke in order to get the shaft in phase completely. It cost me $280 and my howl/growl at highway speeds is gone. I got it back today and have had only 1 test drive so far. Thanks for everyone's patience, ideas, and help.
