Keep in mind you can find 3rd member housings at any pull apart and find a N nodular housing and good gears pretty cheap if you break something.

If not going the 9" route, I fully support the 9.5 AAM "14 bolt"
If you have a welder and some fab skills/ experience these axles can be had for pennies at a u pull yard from a van or light duty 2500 in the 6 lug variety. My yard sells rear axles for $99 before tax/fees/cores. And has at least 2 that I saw last time there.
I bet you the cost of a u pull AAM 14 bolt that you cant build a 10 bolt stronger for cheaper.
Above all, the 9" is def the better route, but not the cheapest.
