I'm pretty sure that open diffs are better on slick roads, it keeps you from breaking loose with both wheels.
Locked diffs are better on dirt/mud/snow though.

open diffs are better with these conditions when you are sideways on a slope, if they are locked then you will start to walk yourself down the hill
