Default What posi should I get for my 10 bolt??

Hi, I'm planning on getting 4.10 gears installed soon on my cam only 94 6sp Formula, and I want to also put in a new posi because the stock one isn't locking up anymore....doing the "one wheel peel" Before I get 10 responses about getting a 12 bolt or 9' Ford....I'm only looking to spend $500-$600...I don't have 2-3K to drop. The car is going to be a street car and won't see slicks. So far I have narrowed my options to 4 choices....let me know what would be my best bet considering my budget (having some money left for installation would be nice)

1. El cheapo way (Used 10 BOLT POSI EATON LOCKER 28 SPLINE with 4.10 gears included, has been inspected but not rebuilt....seller is mrboss429r on Ebay)...only $265 for everything.
2. Get a rebuilt 10 BOLT POSI EATON LOCKER 28 SPLINE 3 SER. from Dansgears on ebay...($250 + brand new 4.10 Motive gears $200= $450 total) added bonus is 30 day warantee
3. Brand new Eaton Posi ($420+ $200 for 4.10 gears= $620)
4. Brand new 10 BOLT AUBURN POSI GM 28 SPL ($475 + $200 for 4.10 gears= $675)

Does anyone have any thoughts on which posi is more reliable (Eaton vs Auburn)? I also have a 99 Firehawk with that Auburn unit and I like it a lot...hooks up both tires waaay better than whatever stock one came on my 94. Please discuss and give me your recomendations.

your 94 should have had an Auburn. I use both Auburn and Eaton Posi's and consider them equal. I have no experience with Eaton Posi LOCKERS.

Eaton is rebuildable and auburn is not. I would definatly go with eaton I'm not sure if the eaton posi locker is the gov lock or not but if it is that is complete junk.

I would go with the 3rd choice everything is nice and new.
