I don't know jack about lockers, but I had a pretty bad clunking a while back, grab a hold of your drive shaft and twist it with the e brake on, also try and rock it perpendicularly. have a buddy inside to make sure it doesn't roll. If it has wiggle room then you should replace the u-joints

Is powertrax a good locker. I think it needs to be replaced and I'm not sure what to get.

First of all I would see if your problem is really the locker. If you are having binding in the drivetrain, such as a bad u-joint, or broken axle shaft it will cause your locker to freak out and click a lot.

In my opinion, the powertrax it is probably the best as far as lunchbox lockers go due to their nearly silent operation, however it would be better if you got a full carrier locker. I would recommend getting a elocker or an air locker though so that you can turn it on and off and those are also full carrier replacement lockers.
