The diffs you listed are great for mild applications but will wear out very soon under repeated lanches.....so if you're wanting to stay streetable and still have a dependable lock go with a detroit locker; its noisy but very tough and will still slip to turn(this is when its noisy...sounds like a ratchet clicking) If all else fails with your decision talk to some of the guys at the track and find out who the local hot rod rear end mechanic is (car proctologist)he will be able to explain in greater detail about the different diffs and the reliability of each. Good luck!
