Thanks for the help!

There are many reasons why the Ford 9" became so popular. One of them being that the center section can be changed out very easily with very lttle knowledge required. Guys who would run quarter mile once a month but use the car for a daily driver the rest of the time would just swap could swap out the center in a matter of minutes.
Both axles can be built very strong but I think that the 9" has much more versatility and can be easily built to withstand whatever hp you want to throw at it. It's kind of like the original small block Chevy where you could make it do whatever you wanted - depending on your checkbook!!!!
