I have a Spartan and I love it and it is the cheapest but its still real good in the woods and not bad on the street. And I have also never really hear of a static locker it might be another name for a lunchbox style?

I would like a spartan locker one day, I find that even though all of the lunchbox lockers are practically the same, Spartan has bigger pins, springs and is easier to install

locking front and rear is a great idea. if your axles can handle it that is
I DD locked/locked. the aussie front is unnoticeable in 2wd just pops every now and again. can't even feel the rear detroit with the auto trans
don't cheap out on the rear. if it's a D35, weld it. if it's D44/8.8 get a full case locker. worth it

Wouldn't welding the rear be "Cheaping out"

cheaping out on a D35? yeah I'd be fine with that. putting money into it would be even less smart than welding it
