Keep in mind Yukon has a warranty as well. Just ask the people who get tired of using it. Warranty doesn't mean it is a good part.
From years of dealing with this stuff I generally narrow front axles into 3 classes.
Stock EB stuff that will fail at the U-joint when pushed hard enough.
Stock big U-joint Spicer/Dana axles do remarkable well and are as good as the cheapy aftermarket stuff.
Then the high end real nice axles.
One of the big things with front axles is the U-joints. Skimp there and the extra money into the axle is a complete waste. Axle U-joints are not a safety fuse, they are an explosive gernade. Blow an axle U-joint and nearly every time it will bend the ears of the axles beyond use.
Rear axles are another bread. It is hard to find someone bad enough to screw those up. Once you get above the stock 28 spline all is good. The 28 splines tend to be problematic. Twisting is common. Going to a hardened 28 and the shaft goes from twist to shatter.
