Torn passenger inner CV boot - repair boot or replace axle?

2000 Toyota Solara, V6 MT, 120k miles. Ran a search on the forum but couldn't get a consistent answer, so I was wondering:

Is it better to just replace the inner CV boot with an OEM replacement for toyota and keep the stock CV axles?

OR

Replace entire CV axle with both boots with an aftermarket OEM replacement?


Any advice or brand suggestions are appreciated. On a very short time frame here (days), so the sooner the better

Lots of times, the rebuilt axles are a good way to go because they are priced so competitively. Might pay to look around. Even if you replace both boots, yours still have 120K on them. Replacing an axle is a pretty fast fix too. Not a hard job.
