CVJ Axles

Happy Halloween everybody!
Recently my 20 year old CVs have started to clack and finally warrant a replacement, just in time to play in the snow. Looking around I see a high number of people recommend these CVJ Reman axles, though with little if any explanation as to which ones and CVJ doesn't offer much information. Anybody here have a preference or recommend a particular set? Running a TRD lift in front with a diff drop, fwiw. Not sure if that's "moderate angle"
I've shot them an email to see what their recommendation is, but I'd love to hear any experiences or comments you guys have (have a feeling they'll point me towards the most expensive they got). Most the threads I see that talk about CVJ seem to be a number of years old, and given the way some of the posts are written, I have a feeling they've added a couple of options over the years

I believe that the CVJ axles are all the same and the price difference is for the different boots. For me, the red inner boot is a must with the lift. I rebuild my own with red silicone inner boots and OEM or Napa outer boots and have never torn an outer boot. Always the inner. Basically I am running the 9168R. The fact that the red inner boot is the only stand alone boot that they sell says a lot. Not sure how necessary the silicone outer boot is but looking forward to more feedback on this.

Thanks for the input. CVJ says themselves that the neoprene outer boots they put on aren't the best or as good as OEM, so I suspect why they install it but don't offer it is typical sales BS; first offer a product you claim to be worse to sway the customer into spending more. But basic logic would also say they're probably not as bad as they make them seem (otherwise why would they bother?), and worst case scenario you tear the boot and buy some OEM ones and see if they stack up.
