Default Ok getting rear end shortly some choices

Ok got my textralia twin disc and got my deposit on APS twins and now figure time to get a rear end.
I have decided can live without abs although some guy has now think found a way to keep it . Going with 9 inch moser. I street drive the car mostly so no spool or locker have to go with true trac. Gears am still undecided. I like a bit more snap off boost so thinking 3.70 but some guys are saying go with 3.50. I am not totally worried about his car being the ultimate drag car as not caging it and it won't be going to track much past 11.5. I plan on 408 or 427 iron block. So with these bigger engines is 3.50 the better choice. Don't do much highway either so don't think need to go lower like 3.23s or 3.08s.
Also choosing between aluminum or iron center ,is the iron much stronger it is cheaper by a bit. But the aluminum looks so pretty and is a bit lighter but not worried about weight a whole lot. Figure have more than enough hp in my combo to not worry about a few pounds.

Nothing special is needed to keep ABS or Trac control on a 9", they have been doing that for a long time.

3.50's is prebably your best bet. I had them when my car was a M6.

Hmm no they don't offer abs on the moser 9 inch rear ends if you dont' have traction control car which I don't . and thought most people were happy with their moser 9 inch rears. Seems lots are not happy with the strange 12s but want 9 inch not 12 bolt. So guess take my chances. not into dana either.

they do have abs ready axles and you use your factory backing plate that mounts your abs sensor if you have four channel abs. i have a 408 used 3.50s and aluminum center.

I have 3 channel so lose the abs. Staring to think strange 12 bolt verus the moser 9. Hearing good and bad about both. Why is everything so hard to decide?
So how quiet is hte 3.50 and aluminum center. Would think aluminum center would be a bit noisier.
