Breaking shafts, twisting splines? I've been running those in my waggy d44 for a few years with no trouble. Running longfield joints. I probably would have bought RCVs but they didn't come out until about 6 months after I ordered shafts. At the time I was probably only ~$200 under what the RCVs would have run for the shafts and joints I bought. Can't say I have any complaints about what I got.
