Broken axle

I have not broken any axles yet but was wondering if any one knows if I were going to twist one which side is more likely to break? Right or left side? My cobalt has the LSD G85.

At the drag strip, my drivers completely broke, while the passenger side only extended. I still had to replace it though, but was able to drive on it for a bit.

On my redline I've broke 2 of each. Both drivers were due to massive potholes on lowered suspension and both pass were at the track launching a little too hard and hopping like a sob
