Most driveshaft manufactures I have spoken with recommended a chrome moly drive shaft. They said aluminum ones tend to develop vibration over time. A couple of places to check with are Mark Williams and Dennys Driveshafts. Ask lots of questions, they know their stuff.

Yeah I was thinking about them as well. I need to order this week and am leaning toward a chrome molly one.
