I have the PowerHouse drive shaft also and have been very happy with it. Spyder wasn’t making his shaft when I got mine or I would have his. I would get the Spyder shaft as I like the fact it doesn’t use an adapter plate to mate the u-joint to the rear pinion.

I have the Spydershaft. Its a good value, a big weight saver, and smooth as can be. I had it installed for $50 so I can't say how hard it was but I heard that you need a gear puller to get the stocker out or it can be tough. I only have about 1500 miles on it but no issues at all.

I like the spyder because its the lightest, beating the others by a pound of two. Also, its the cheapest.
But, it comes with a new pinion flange. If you read my review then you'll see it took me 14 hours to finally get my stock one off and press the spyder flange on. You won't have this problem with other companies' driveshafts because they use adapters on the stock pinion flange.
But many people say their stock flange slipped right off no probs, and the one slipped right on.
So heres my advice to you.... Save money and get the spyder because its not just the cheapest but its also lighter. Do that and rent a gear puller from autozone. In fact, rent 2 or 3 to make sure you get the right size. It will cost you $150 or so initially but you'll get it back when you bring them back. And prepare yourself mentally that you may encounter a pinion flange from hell. Once its done you'll be very happy.

spyder driveshaft because no adapters are needed. It took me about 1/2 an hour to install mine. I just tapped on the old pinion flange a few times and it came right off
