That's it. One quote was $500. Ridiculous. The other was $250 with an oil change included. Who is closest to reality?

Cheap Rockauto half shafts are ~$55 each. I figure about 30 minutes per side @ $100 per hour, IF all goes well. Add tax, environmental fees, small parts, 20% parts markup, 20% profit. At $250 the shop may just about break even. But if one small thing goes wrong, like rusted on parts, they lose.
