Default lock rite or 8.25?

ive got a 95 cherokee sport 4.5 long arm lift, currently on 32's, and some others. my question is, i have a d35 in the rear and would like to install lockers, but since i have the dana should i find a jy 29 spline 8.25, or just put the locker in the d35? it's a semi-dj that i wheel whenever i find something to drive over.

thanks in advance folks

Or maybe there's an axle kit that's relatively cost effective?

well if you plan on anything bigger I'd definitely swap out for the 8.25, but if I was in your position I'd swap it out anyways... that's just my opinion
