It's a matter of driving style, but stock stuff is more likely to break because you have to push it harder to get it to go. But then again if you re-gear, you put more stress on the shafts themselves due to the increase in torque and weight of the tire.
If I were you and had to drive it daily, I would find someone with a TJ dana 44 for sale. Some shops may have them laying around from another conversion. You may also check E-bay. Ihave also heard that there is one company that is selling just the housings and you can gear it and put in your own shafts.
