My CVDs need replacing but I was thinking that the composite drive shafts would have less weight and therefore less rotating mass. What do other people think? They would also be cheaper to replace in future.

When I rebuilt my tc3 all 4 of my aluminum cvds were bent. I KNOW that wasnt helping my laps times. I switched to the composite ones because they don't bent and if they break I know right away and dont have to wait until I rebuild it to find out. They are also MUCH cheaper. I couldnt really tell you if it will make you faster because I replaced so many on my car when I rebuilt it (IRS converstion, all the graphite parts, etc.) that I don't know what made me faster.
