Clint,
You won't likely like my advice but I'd just stick with the good ol' leather.
I've gone through exactly the same thing as you. The CR single lip seals are trash.
I've found the leather to always weep & occasionally drip but seldom does the gear oil ever pour out like it does with a failed Neoprene seal.
The leather does a bit of a number on the yokes because they hold in sand & dirt but I've yet to ever have a leather seal really pouring out fluid unless the preload was way out of whack or bearings ruined.
Sometimes newer isn't always better & this is one instance so long as you don't mind a few oil drips in your garage.
That's my opinion.
