I have used Warn's hubs on my '94 V6 with ADD for many years. I have heard that the OEM manual hubs may be stronger. I do moderate 4 wheeling and haven't had any problems with this setup. I never noticed any significant change in mileage.

I think this setup is better than original since the axles aren't turning all the time, which is easier on the CV joint's and CV boots since I use lowered bumpstops and keep the torsion bars cranked up a little bit.
None but a decrease in wear in the moving parts since they are not turning all the time.

It is not that the stock hubs are stronger it is the way they are fastened. The Warn hubs do not use the cone washers to aligned them and hold them tight to the wheel hub. Under normal conditions, they are fine, but under heavy wheeling conditions the Warns have a tendency to loosen which causes the studs and locating pins to break
