8.25 rear pros

OK So as to survive the bashing yes I have searched the forum and have read lots about the 8.25. With that being said I want to use a 8.25 behind my 5.7 hemi/518 trans. I have found a detroit truetrac, mosier axles, and a disk brake conversion kit. So most of the threads I have read spend a lot of time ether bashing the rear or praising it. Yet I don't see any reasons for the cons or the pros. So I guess I am asking what are the reasons for it's strengths and the reasons for it's weaknesses? What makes this rear strong and what makes it weak?
