I'm running an aussie in front and a spartan in the rear. I have to vehicles but I drive my jeep about every other day. A lunchbox in the rear is barely noticable as well

Mine likes to snag sometimes at low speeds pulling into a driveway or soemthing, not sure why. Might have to do with my front driveshaft ujoints being shot. Most of the time you can't really tell its there in 2wd though

Mainly because how positively the torque is applied to the diff. There is no give like with a torque converter in an automatic. Of course, your driving style and clutch habits can change that. The other thing would be the downshifting on a manual when coming to a stop is more abrupt than in an auto where the transmission almost coasts.
You can definetely run the ratcheting locker in a manual, you will just need to get used to it.
That all being said. Put it in the front.
