It would be nice to have a 35spline unit so it would be feasible to have 2 centers that could be swapped out without having to swap axles too. You could have 1 trutrac and 1 spool both 35 splines. Right now I'm leaning towards 12 bolt with 33 spline trutrac but I'm afraid it just won't last if I go to the track.

The 33 spline 9" axles will probably be fine... if you buy good axles. (Mark Williams-- Period. The 300M axles are really tough.)

And I would not do a 33 spline 12-bolt... The axle diameter is getting to be so large the carrier diameter under the carrier bearings starts to get thin and you now have a new failure point.
