No such thing as "best". I've installed 4 PowerTrax No-Slip lockers in various vehicles, including the XJ........great product IMHO, but I have no experience with other brands. IIRC, it's not recommended for the front.

I've heard a lot of people on various forums say that the Aussie is the quietest after break-in, but I don't know personally. I've seen people say that they've had different brands and found the Aussie to work as well as all of them, and be more liveable on-road.

I'd like to hear opinions too, because I'm considering one of these down the road myself, and I've not tried any of them myself either.

Aussie quiet? No way. The Powertrax No-Slip is by far the best.

I've installed lock-rite's, aussies, and no-slip. The no-slip is the most reliable yet.

Interesting. I was suspicious myself because the Aussie is considerably cheaper than most of the others.

Truetracs are neither a lunchbox locker or a locker, they are a full case LSD.
I have run Aussies, Lockrights and have a buddy with a Spartain. Hated my Lockrights, they would unload on side hills and the springs wear out way fast. The Aussies worked great. I wouldn't consider any of these quiet but then again my full Detroit even clicks. If you have a problem with the noise go with a no-slip but they do cost a bit more.
