CV Axle recomendations

I installed Autozone Duralasty CV axles with seals from Nissan dealer on my 02 6 speed about a year ago and it never sealed quite right, leaks about a 1/3 of a cup a month,,

anyone have any luck with aftermarket axles on a 6 speed not having any leak issues??

My 2003 is not a 6 speed but I have used Cardone 66-6190 New CV Axle for over 2 years with no issues. I bought it on Amazon for $55 in 2020 but price had gone up since then.

I decided to go with 6th gen 6 speed Cardone axles, cost me $147 shipped for both on Rockauto.

new 6th gen 6 speed passenger side axle bracket was $183 shipped, could not find a used one.

Cheapest ones I could find have been the best so far. I've had them in for almost a year and no vibration, and I'm slammed on BC coilovers. My car gets new axles and tranny fluid for Christmas every year since I started driving it in 2018.
