thats your preferance.
Most people on this site will tell you not to get a durablue(aka DURABEND to them) I have had mine bend
ANY axle can bend or break
I have a dura bend comming in the mail....
Go with lonestar.

Depends on what type of riding you want to do, but like everyone said ANY axle can bend or break if enough force is applied to it.
I have had a Durablue X-33 with the billet hubs for about 4 years now and have had not a single problem with it. I've hit some monster jumps and cased it many times as well, but still has not bent or broken. If I had to to it all over again, or if I do break or bend this one, I would go with an RPM axle, but that's only for lifetime warranty reasons.
I even landed my quad completely vertical from about 15ft up last summer. Which means the rear suspension did NOT absorb that impact. Still straight...
Not bad for 4 years old eh? The chrome is still blingin' :D
