Need to replace my front axles, what brand do I need to go with?

Avoid made in China. Try to find one that has the balance weights or a rebuilt one or rebuild your own. What's wrong with yours? If it's just a ripped boot, you can repair that.
While you're at it, I'd replace the front hub and stupid encapsulated rotors with the ones from the 98" Acura CL.

Does anyone know if Honda has a rebuild kit for the 1997 Honda Accord cv axel?

You can find all the Honda parts here: Genuine OEM Honda Parts and Accessories Online - Honda Parts Now
There are others available, much cheaper, on Ebay or Amazon or other on-line sites; you just have to decide on how much you want to spend. I try to buy parts from Japan or Taiwan and I try to avoid China.
I replaced my driver side a year ago with THIS and so far so good and it's cheap. I still kept the original, just in case.

While you're at it, I suggest THIS and THIS. You use the stock calipers, so it's plug and play.
I've had them on my car for over a year and I drive 80 - 90 mph, every day.

Just ordered a used honda off ebay yesterday. We'll see what it looks like. I may have to reboot it and re-grease it. Going to send it back if the boots are ripped or torn. Wish me luck.

Another question, does anyone know the part number for the output shaft seal, the one the c v axle slides into? It fits into the transmission. Driver side.

I bought two new DTA brand CV axles on eBay for $132 and they seem decent enough. The drive side had the counter balanced weight. Both come with new drive axle nuts.

I replaced both front wheel bearing and hub assemblies with Detroit axle brand for $88.98.

You should replace the oil seals where the axles slip into the transmission also, unless you know they’ve been been replaced. It’s a good idea to have them just in case, you can return them if not needed.

I bought a universal one a parts store, it happened to be the exact seal I needed.
