Default Ideas on combatting wheel hop?

So, I've been brainstorming ways on fixing the amount of wheel hop I suffer during launches. I'm sure other drivers also have the issue, and of course, if I had a bit more driver-mod, I might be able to fare better. But, as far as mechanical solutions go, do you guys have any ideas?

One idea that stuck is doing what the CTS-V does from the factory - they use unequal diameter axles (or halfshafts) in the rear to prevent harmonization of the wheel hop, and it prevents it from happening. Other than Driveshaft Shop, are there any suitable alternatives? Or could even a custom solution be made?

I've even noticed that some front wheel drive cars have rubber weights on one of the drive axles. Is that the same effect?
