Default 9" opinions?

I have 4 channel abs which is the prob here I think...

I can get a Strange 12bolt loaded for ~ $2800 shipped. It is so much because I have to pay $300 extra for the backing plates and reluctor rings...

Or I can get a 9" with Strange Center Section, & Posi, with 4 channel ABS for ~ $2300 shipped

Locker/Spool is almost out of the question. This is a daily driver and do not want cornering to be compomised. Either way, I will be getting a POSI.

12bolt: 33spline
9": 31spline

Hmmm...which to go with? Pay $500 more for the 12bolt to save drivetrain loss and better axles, or $500 less with more drivetrain loss and worse axles?
I need advice here guys....

9 inch. when it comes time to upgrade, you can.

gun drilled 35's and a spool would make it ultra light

NEVER do a locker!!!!!!!!!!!!

i had one and hated it!the spool is 10 times nicer to drive. spools are not that bad, you just need to buy a set of hard compound tires to drive on when ur not racing
