I went with rubber in front and al in rear. Pretty much std from rr section. I only changed mine because I was doing the clutch and am hoping it won't be back out for a while. Recommended not to do al for front and rear as it doesn't allow enough flex. Good luck.

I would seriously consider getting 2 aluminum ones and some shim washers. Shim the bolts on the couplers until the shaft turns true. If you get a rubber coupler make sure it looks like the GM one and is the same hard rubber as the GM one.
