Synergy products have been around for years and years, countless people run them, fairly well known for quality and strength. The yeti offering is relatively new. I've only seen it talked about the last few months I think? But the reviews seem to all be favorable.

Synergy 225 bucks. Easily replaceable, easy to find ends

Yeti 400 plus shipping. Nearly all proprietary from the way the ends are put together.

Personally 175 bones is a lot to gain very little.

The price difference made the decision. Are there different options for Synergy drag links?

No.

The synergy can also be used in the flipped position if you ever lift your jeep 3.5" or more. If you're going to go through all of this, I would also consider a Synergy track bar as well as a Synergy sector shaft brace. JMHO.

We run TeraFlex draglinks on our shop JKs. A couple bucks more, but nice being able to tighten the ends down as they naturally wear, and can be used in either position (under or over the knuckle).

Sorry I should have just edited my original post instead of making two more posts including additional information but my phone makes it hard to edit so I got lazy I'll refrain in the future and just wait until I'm on a computer.

First check the play yourself by having someone steer your Jeep back and forth while you watch the drag link to see if there is play. As mentioned previously having a drag link fail at 22k mikes seems odd unless your beat on your Jeep.

As for the drift you will get that with bigger tires. The crown of the road causes the drift. My Jeep does this with 35's and with certain sections of the highway.
