With OEM axles at around $1K and aftermarket sub hundred, I can't imagine going with OEM. I hadn't heard the articulation issue. I'm at about 250000 miles and I've put in several axles: all with torn boots, none with actual joint issues. I've already got one standing in the corner for the next change.
That said, youtube/google must be harvesting my posts because youtube recommended a boot changing technique I hadn't seen before using a funnel type thing to stretch a new boot over the outer joint. Pretty neat but I would still choose to change the whole thing.
