The OEM (AC Delco/GM) CV axles hold up very well. They are probably as strong, if not stronger, than the front diff to which they are attached. One common school of thought with these CVs is that if you upgrade them, like to RCV CVs, you're just making the front diff the weak point where the failure will occur. I have not broken an OEM CV but I've gone through a couple of front diffs. I've replaced the OEM CVs when the boot tore and I didn't repair it quick enough and allowed the bulk of the grease to fling out.
I have not heard of ones that have greater operating angles, maybe others have.
The aftermarket CVs like Cardone are junk and fail quickly.
