Default Axle Selection on E30 LSD Swap

Need some help here. I did the E30 6-cyl 3.73 LSD swap 3? years ago, and have gone through a couple iterations of axles along the way:

1) Used E30 inner CV/E36 ti outer CV hybrid axles: blew inner CV joint due to torn boot.
2) New E30 325is axles: outer CV joint about to go out after 2 years, leaking grease from poorly sealing stamped metal flanges. (BTW, got these from Zygmunt/bimmerparts.com. Build quality sucks.)

Has anyone found *reliable* axles for this swap? I'm leary of buying another set of used OE E30 axles because of the age/mileage. If the latest axles I bought are any indication, the build quality of aftermarket axles seems to suck. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks.
