Air, electric or cable locker would be the best, DD or the trail, but are NOT good on the wallet. Autolocker, better on the wallet, and work fine for DD.

X3^ air electric and cable lockers are the best but expensive and you will also reset up your gears if you dont know how that will be costly best bet is a set of lunchbox lockers like the lockrites or the aussie locker both good choices and very dependable with tires up to 35"

My 02 follows...

I did not want auto lockers for my daily driver. I dislike lockers on pavement as it is, and a 5spd will intensify the undesirable features of an auto locker...

I went with detriot TrueTrac's, which are gear driven limited slips, some folks refer to them as a torsion type limited slip.

I love them for what they are.
Invisable on the pavement, and by running the E-brake and foot brake they can be locked off road.
Having said all that, if money had not been the issue it was, I would have gone ARB, and there are times on the trail I wish I had.
