8.25 is all around better, can't lose with it, like stated in other posts d35 is a time bomb waiting to go, i have fixed them in wranglers with 4 cyl and stock tires

as stated a cj is different than a hp30 yj/xj, which is different than the short tj/late xj, so they won't fit and reusing gears is ok, as long as the gears themselves are in good shape, especially for the front because they are not driving until you put the truck in 4wd, the tricky part is...

front pinion angle should be fairly straight if you're still using a cv front shaft, the pinion should point straight thru the d-shaft, might not be so good for steering, but give a little get a little
