I'm replacing just the rubber brake hoses.
I'm leaning toward OEM re-manufactured axles, there's an Ebay seller that has them for $220/each.
So the Chinese $100 axles are just straight garbage? I'm trying to keep this car for a long time, not flip it.

The eBay seller may be making up Cardon Rebuilt Axles. I started getting slight cracks on my Cardon Axel Boots after 5 years.
Local part places sell the Cardone Axles and you don't need to pay shipping and if you have issues you have someone at the counter to speak to and to get an exchange from.
My Cardone Axles likely qualified for an exchange under the life time warranty but I bought it from Chiefs Autoparts which was bought out by some other Company which was replaced by O'reillys auto parts. I simply decided not to attempt the exchange and besides I wanted to try re-booting.
Beyond the boot issue the Cardone axles have been on the car since 2008.
