If it was me I would probaly go for performance. Just be careful you dont blow your stock diffs. If you take it easy you should be ok for a while.

i might get performance + 7075 diffs, will anything else be bugging me or would i be set for 10-15 easy runs?

If you drive reasonable, it will hold up. If you hit things and land on full power or otherwise abuse it, something will give. I would say after the diffs, the transmission idler gear is the next weak link. This will handle quite a bit of thrashing though. maybe a turnbuckle or so will bend or break in a crash, but for just driving, it will be very tough.

Well if you get the diffs now you might as well get the diff cases. The plastics will flex and could possibly damage the new diff cups. I would do both at the same time if it was me. You might be ok for 10 runs though.
