to do cv boot you have to mess with the axle while its off trying to get snap ring off and everything else.
Much easier to drive the heck out of the axle and than replace the whole thing.
Please correct me if i'm wrong. thanks

Yes Alex many members have replaced with brand new assemblies for about 60 per side (Cardone Select is a brand new aftermarket assembly you can get from Rock auto for about 120 per pair, and no core charge) or about 80 like you said for a Reman axle after core return.
I elected to replace boots because I have low miles on my OE axles (68k) and my boots were not ripped to be slinging grease. I replaced the boots when small cracks started showing so I could get another 9 years out of the boots without trouble, but if I had ripped boots on the axles I would definitely just replace the entire assemblies, since the joints have been exposed to the elements and are compromised.
