12 bolt uses less power, but if you are choosing any of those rear ends, you shouldn't feel too much power loss.

Here is an article from Car Craft comparing each of these rear ends and power losses:

A lot of people get the same results, even with similar gear ratios. In theory it should slow you down, but sometimes theory doesn't get you too far... Bob
