I don't think it will blow up your t-case if it seizes up. It will just twist the driveshaft itself. The aftermarket ones would blow up your t-case.
Plus, you'll definitely know it's about to go when it starts squeaking a lot, so it's not like it's a time bomb.

I'd use one of these:
with a needle fitting:
I went with a Coast 1310 (front and rear), but there are others as well - JE Reel, Tom Woods, Tatton just to name a few. But when you do get an aftermarket driveshaft, be sure to get adjustable control arms as well.

I used the grease gun that interceptor_1972 posted.
Also, I know you're supposed to get upper control arms when you upgrade to an aftermarket shaft, but I haven't done that yet and I've driven 70+ without any noticeable vibrations. That's with 2.5 inches of lift and a tom woods shaft.
That'd be awesome if you could use some kind of glue to fix the rubber! I'd love to fix up my old shaft to keep as a spare, just in case (even though you replace yokes with aftermarket).
