Propshaft couplers
Doing some research on what to use and trying to decide between running polyurethane on both ends or going with a billet rear and a stock front. Anyone running either of these setups? Any issues?

don't you think billet couplers would have a weird harmonic or vibration noise to them ? I would imagine the polly couplers would be the way to go. I am also curious because I have OE parts and they work fine for me.

I have a new aluminum drive shaft with the poly style drive doughnuts from the Drive Shaft Shop in my C6 I came tell a very very small difference in the stock pieces as far as the harmonics you mentioned I would say most people would never even know the difference if they drove there car and then mine

I was going your route but had a bad driveshaft too. It wound up being cheaper to replace the torque tube with a brand new one from GM. $1100 and a 1 year warranty. I stayed with the stock couplers in the new TT. Horse Power Sales of Pompano did all the work for me.
