In your opinion am i better off going for a good internal condition OE tube that needs painting vs an aftermarket tube which is probably made in China lol

In my honest opinion yes.

If it ever came that I ran out of excellent or new genuine tubes, and only China versions available, then I won't be supplying refurbished axles anymore.

Cheap for a reason.

ive used a good few of aftermarket tubes, a tube is a tube its metal if the physical dimensions are right then it will be fine. I just dont trust the bearings and seals they come with. I ve got a good number of used genuine tubes or i can supply new aftermarket tubes.
