If your constantly breaking the OEM U-Joints something else is going wrong. You might be binding up your drive-shaft and causing the u-join failure.
Generally OEM is the strongest followed by some Mitsubishi ones. The Napa default replacements are pretty much junk.

That is one way to fix it.
Do you get a lot of axle wrap when climbing hills?

a little more info might help solve some futur problems. SOA or SUA? Any spring wrap?
One thing that took me a long time to figure out was that when I swapped out joints that I forgot to loosen them once I had all the clips in. You get it all together with all the clips and then you take your hammer and hit the caps until your u-joints move totally freely.
Another thing I've learnt over the last 10 years was that I always buy the u-joints from a place that offers life time warranty. second....the day before every run or when getting back from the last run, I get under the rig and check all the joints. If there is the slightest movement in the joint then I change it BEFORE the run. I learnt that even a 50km run will break the joint. keep them tight.
