fj80 or diamond front

i am trying to decide which front axle to use when i sas my 95 runner and imstuck between either a diamond housing or an fj80 front. i was originally planning on going with an fj80 front but after researching it seems like for the price of an fj80 front with high steer and everything it would be just as much or even more than building a diamond housing with birfields the same width as the 80. so obviousley the diamond axle would be the way to go ideally but i want to go with the cheaper set up because i know both will be plenty strong since i will be only running 35's. so any recommendations maybe even other axles to consider??

i would go with the diamond because you can get it made to the same length as the rear axle and than you dont have to run wheel spacers and they are built tougher the diamonds are my pic
