New axles are the smarter move IMO. Let's remove cost from the equation at the moment, we'll come back to that...
To replace a boot, you have to remove the axle, repack with grease, reassemble, etc... Then reinstall. Might as well just replace the axle! Saving you a lot of headache.
Back to cost, $2500 is a *ucking highway robbery. Oh hell no. Find an indy mechanic to fix it for half the cost.
There are times where sometimes it's as simple as a "rebuild," and things like power steering pumps, axles, etc come to mind. But the reality is that if an entire unit has to come out, be rebuilt, and then go back in... Sometimes just look at replacing the entire unit if the costs work out.
