Default Box Shafts

So I've only played Box lax for a little while but I've already seen numerous shafts snapped, even one of my own. So that I wouldn't have to keep getting new shafts, I decided to do a little looking around and I've narrowed my choices.
I'm deciding between:
A gait Orange Crusher
A gait Gorilla (If I can find one)
A MIL TI (thats Mohawk lacrosse for those of you who don't know)
A Warrior Fatboy

I'd rather go with one of the first three since they are a quite a bit less pricey. Now here's where you guys come in; have any of you used said shafts and how did they handle/feel. Any input is welcomed.

Not many box laxers here bud. The only info I have heard about is the Fatboy. I know a lot of people in my league use Harrow shafts. I think the best thing to do would be to ask your coach. I know my coach uses a RBK shaft right now and used a Harrow one before that.

Well its worth a try asking here since laxforums.com has that weird situation going on. And now I feel stupid because I totally forgot about harrow even though I have several teammates who use them. I'm just a bit skeptical on the RBK's though, only because I haven't heard much about it and the fact that they're new to the sport. Are the RBK's composites like the harrows?

I can ask my coach and get back to you tomorrow evening. The RBK's are composite and have a really nice feel to them. Haven't really held Harrows yet. Again, I'll ask my coach and see what he says.

Go for the mohawk Ti, it's pretty beast. I'm not a huge fan of the grip, and it's pretty heavy, but it will not break.

Weight isn't an issue for me, I can swing whatever's out there. Just as long as it doesn't cost a ton and can withstand a good amount of brutality. Do you know how much those TI's usually run for?

Go for the MIL titanium. Than the Fatboy. Then the Orange Crusher. Then the Gorrila.

Those are in order of quality, quality being a balance of strength, grip, looks ( for those who care), and feel
