Good replacement driveshaft ?

My passenger's side driveshaft boot is torn and grease is getting splattered all over. Time to replace the whole thing but not sure which brand to use. Just looking for something reliable and good quality at a decent price, and nothing too fancy.

I heard driveshaft shop was pretty good but they don't make it any more. OEM seems good but seems expensive.

Any recommendations ?

Have you contacted Driveshaft shop to see if they will make them anymore? I know they are not listed on the site anymore but they still might. I am in a similar situation as well. My car just started two days ago clicking while turning. I am assuming it will be my CV joint. I haven't had time to crawl under the car and check yet though. I am debating if I should just replace my axles as well since I am boosted and getting some stronge ones from Driveshaft shop would be nice if they will still make them.

I contacted Driveshaftshop today and already got an answer. They had some problem with the old design and are moving to a new 6 ball bearing design which works much better. Recently they just moved and changed locations so work go pushed back some and they are expecting the new version to be finished in 4 months hopefully.

Here is to hoping that mine hold out that long.
