I would recomend any chassis from crawford, as i just got one with 16" wheelbase and carbon fiber links[8D]. It is very light unit and the quality is amazing. i got the evolution model, which was recomended by Dez, i also have a NN chassis coming my way, that last one is used more for competition as i understand.
As for the diffs, try e-bay, i did but ended buying a whole new clod kit from tower for a little more money then what a used set of diffs was going for, and you get wheels/tires and some other stuff you can use or sell back on e-bay.

My choice of chassis to replace my NN is made by CPE!

So theres no way to just order replacement axles from tower, you gotta pay 100$+ just for some axles...

Also if a break one theres no way to fix with out buying another 100$ set?

Sounds kinda lame, are there any other options?

Well if your willing to wait a bit, these might do the trick!

Huh? There's replacement parts for the clod axles, just need to look. Check all the different clod aftermarket companies, some have replacement parts as well as their hop ups.

ThunderTech Racing has a Clod junkyard section.

Answer to your first question, yeah, usually clod axles will run pretty high for a set or each infact.
