it really depends on what size tire you are running just because the dana 60 is bigger and stronger doesnt meen its better you are looking at extra weight and a significant difference in price for not only the axle but parts also if you arent planning on going over 35s the dana 44 is hard to beat they will take a hell of alot of abuse and have tons of aftermarket support if you plan on going bigger then 35s though you may want to look into a D60
the weight isnt a factor, it is unsprung weight and just adds to your traction. i would say ground clearance becomes a problem when you arent running a very large tire (under 37/38). 44's can be built up very strong, but if you think you will go bigger later...why waste the money? i'd say make a plan and stick with it.
