Drive shaft choices

Swapping to 4L80E means driveshacft modification in order. I have bunch stuu laying around. One Piece is 3" two piece out iof 1993 3/4 ton PU.

I can. A: Cut(4") front shaft and weld and balance. U joint to adapt to transmission yoke Probably cheapest
B: Use 3" shaft means cutting and welding front, finding u joint to mate to old yoke on rear end Make new carrier mount doing anyway for crossmember.
C: buy one piece, costly, on long side for speed and then mating to other parts.

Ben3fits A: cheapest probably easiest.
B: larger diameter should mean stronger and better at high speeds which I have already done with as is.
C: No Carrier and less u joints.

Opinions and if would reasoning for it. Another not time pressed thing just preplanning my moves.
