I would do the rear main for sure. It's kinda funny working in Chicago I never did a rear main, I moved out to Colorado (no humidity very dry climate) and I've done roughly 1 leaking rear main every other week for the past 6 months.

I wouldn't both with the axle seals if they aren't leaking, especially since you dint need to pull the trans to replace them if they start to leak.
