I'm sure the audi motor will do OK, I'm just not a fan~

The nice thing about the LSx swap is the ease of connecting the motor. If you buy the GM crate kit it gives you pretty complete instructions and in reality with about 3 wires and a fuel supply you can get it running so there is a big advantage there.

One misconception that I would like to clear up on the LSx install is the amount of "cutting". Don't get me wrong, there is a bit to cut out, but once you see the process yourself and see what you are cutting out, you will realize that it is not a big deal at all. The biggest portion is making a new cover for it (which I am still struggling with, but haven't spent tons of time on it), although if I had planned a little better I would have made it before the motor was in place.

Hind sight is 20/20 right?

Also regarding the axle failures, really since I put the axle spacers in I have not had any issues and have given it hell in the lower gears a few times~ All seems good~

Right now my conversion has a little over 1,300 miles on it and with the exception of the mysterious "idle higher then expected" check engine light popping up from time to time the car has performed pretty much flawlessly for the last 600~ miles.

Anytime you take a motor from one car and put it into another you are going to run into problems and it is going to take a lot of fabrication and figuring unless someone makes a true "bolt in" kit, which to be honest I don't think will ever happen.
