Default BLOWN- drive shaft

So I ws jumping on the expressway toppin out third and at about 100 I hear a loud bang and my shifter starts vibrating like crazy. Well I look under there and the drive shaft is disconnected from the tranny and the tranny fluid is leaking out[:@] I had it towed to my local tranny place. Im not really sure what all is wrong until monday. I know the drive shaft was old but i had no idea. Anyways, Im deff getting a new drive shaft, Are the aluminum drive shafts like those made by steeda good? does anybody have experience with them or know any problem areas?
