Yeah Hardy Spicer are well know through Aus and that my dad work for one of the branches in vic i have killed all my tail shafts but the ones from hardy spicer....
This is my custom tail shaft that i got made up for the front of my hilux with double cardinal joints and just under a 100mm longer then the standed hilux one and i got it done for free
And my back one in getting done now 
If it is your front shaft take it to a good engineering shop, Promac did my front within 3 thou or something or other and it cost $100 5 years ago. Fronts really shouldn't need balancing if they are within a few thou, mine has never given me dramas
Gibsons at edgeworth are great to deal with and come with recomendation off a few of the locals although I havent had a driveshaft done through them, only bought CV's. Ask Hypo if you want to know about the quality of their driveshafts though as they did the shafts on his lux...
