Default Which diff???

Which locking rear diff (posi) are you guys running???
Are there any you would stay away from for a daily driver???
I noticed that the True Trac doesn't hold up too well according to some.
I was considering the Powertrax No-Slip (not the Lock Right).
I have the old model 10 bolt with 8.5 ring gear.

I had one of those powertrax things in an old chevelle that I used to own. It would burn both tires but every time I made a tight slow speed turn it sounded like a horse was following me! clippity-clop, clippity-clop. Maybe they have changed them since then.

I have heard that about the "Lock Right" version. The "No Slip" is suppose to be the new and improved type with the...(of course)...new and improved higher price .
Did yours hold up well???

Yeah, it held up, . Now that I think of it "lock right" sounds like what I had. I beat up on it pretty good, but the car was not exactly really quick and I never put a sticky tire on it to really put it to the test.
