Default E-locker on the Dana 3.0 with a vacuum disco?

So I have been thinking about my options here.

I have been wanting to get some lockers for the XJ, and since my Dana 30 up front has the vacuum disconnect, I was curious as to whether or not to get just a lunchbox locker for the front or a full fledged e-locker.

Any opinions?

EDIT: I was also thinking about getting a solid passenger side axle and ditching the vacuum

either way a lunchbox locker does pretty well under both conditions. but if you have the money and know how to set up a diff, the the E-locker is the way to go

I like the idea of the E-locker, just flip the switch and its engaged,

Since I drive my Jeep alot around town, I think the lunchbox might be not that great

No, actually made sure to mention front and rear so folks wouldn't think I had a 8.25" with an E-Locker. Those are still a fantasy........
