Ford Dana 50 frontends have big U-joints and 1.5 inch diameter shafts like the Dana 60's but then taper down to a 1.31 inch 30 spline just like a Dana44 where the splines end , the weakest part of the axle.
Dana 50's have a 9" ring gear vs the 60 has a 9.75" ring gear
Parts like lockers and ring and pinion gears are more available for the 60 than the 50.
I haven't had any issues with my '01 with a Dana 50, but I don't work the front like I do the rear.
Hope that helps some.
