Prop shaft - OEM or genuine LR

Hi all
I've noticed some vibration lately which I suspect is prop shaft related, centre bearing seems OK (it was rebuilt about 9 months ago), but wondering whether a whole replacement might help - approx 260,000km up on the vehicle.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with non LR ones?

If good, which ones and from where?

Just replaced mine during the week, went with a GKN which is OEM and identical in all respects that I can see, pish easy job done on the driveway in 35 minutes. Old one well and truly gubbed, centre bearing mount torn over 50% and uj's massively notched in both directions though there was absolutely no indication of any issue through either vibration or noise. On that basis happy to replace with same manufacturers product.
