Which Rear End is better for me?
My car is a daily driver, I might take it to the strip a couple times after I get a new rear end but no real big plans on it. I just know that eventually the 10bolt is going to break so I am starting to save for a new rear end.
So for a daily driver, 9" or 12bolt?
Also prices would be nice.

Strange 12 bolt is what I would say..The 9in is heavy, (added weight slows a car down) But they are very strong. If its a Daily Driver a 12 bolt will be more than enough.
But whatever you choose..go Strange!
Its what I have and a lot of guys will tell you they are A LOT better. Iv had both Moser and Strange. The Strange just Blows Moser out of the Water IMO as far as Quality, they send you all the right parts to pit in..

True, but on the street, the amount of traction (particularly from a dig) isn't anywhere near as potent as the VHT/prep surfaces at a track. Basically, the rear end in a "daily driver" won't likely see the kind of massive abuse that it would see at the track with a 1.5 60ft, for example.

I vote 9"... do it once, do it right. Although a 12-Bolt isn't by any means a bad rear. I'd just feel safer with the 9"
The only other 2 things I'd think about is "weight" like mentioned above, and the amount of power lost between one rear end compared to another. Weigh what your willing to lose through the drivetrain powerwise...
