I'd go with the 9". Just make sure you get the big bearing one so you can stick some beefie axles in it.
And truss it of course.

Big fan of run what you have till it breaks but have the replacement ready to drop in when it does
What about a D60 or 14bolt Since for sand clearance isn't as big of an issue? A 9" will still take a number of aftermarket options to be bullet proof but def a step up from Dana 44 although with aftermarket trusses, chromolly axles etc it could be argued they are similar strength
