If you're just replacing the axle, there is only one seal, and it's the "output" seal for the axle. That is the term used on Pelican's catalog anyway. I guess I just call it the axle seal.

By driveshaft input seal I assume he's referring to the seal around the pinion? But you won't be touching that.

For this job you can place your jack stands directly under the rear subframe bushings, underneath the big bolt that penetrates up through the bushing in to the chassis.
