less power is used up by the cv than a u-joint. some folks say a LOT of 
power gets sucked up at those joints. I have no emprical data, though.

But look at ANY new car since about 1985 and you won't find many u-joints 
except in trucks.

Bottom line - cv's are better.

Also note in the Goodparts setup that if the axle breaks the hub stays 
put. With the stock setup, if the outer axle stub breaks, you are SOL, for 
sure 'cause the wheel goes off in whatever direction it wants.
