I run 2 qts of valvoline synthetic gear lube in my Dana. The gear life is forever although I run a powerglide.I run a 6.17 gear. I saw no advantage to running less lube. The dana did not hold up in my car with the stick. I would recommend a cover that incorporates a brace. I saw the pics that you posted about the damage to your dana. My experiance with a stick was similar with the side shims eaten up. Broken caps etc. I installed steel caps and studs on the spool bearings. I have Strange spool and axles.
