i would advise against buying a non-oem axle. look to repairing your own or buying a used one from woody and rebuilding if necessary.
the damage to the splines may be par for the course; when i serviced my axle, i found that the inner cv had worked the axle a bit, marred the splines, and was quite difficult to get off. axle was still well reusable however, and the actual cv, boot, bands, are inexpensive.
lesson - keep an eye on your cv boots; clean and treat them annually.
