The best reason, is that the diff does not need to be opened up to replace the axle or boots. The axle is bolted to a flange that stays in the diff. Just unbolt the axle from the flange to re-boot or replace. Yes they are probably made in China (like most everything nowadays), but the quality seems to be good.

An axle replace project is coming up for me - nothing leaking yet and no noises, just know I'm living on borrowed time. I'd love to be able to go with the annular axles if the price was right and the quality decent. Can you reference the source for the axles? Being able to replace axles without opening the diff in the future would make them almost a maintenance item.
