I found this neat read...pretty informative.

Again - I want to say I'm sure there's a reason some aftermarket builders use solid shafts...I've just never spent any time to look up why.
If its balanced and aligned with precision, the centripetal force that normally causes the "wobble" shouldn't really be an issue. I don't know how much focus they put on balancing a drive shaft though. Probably little to none.
