if its a 6 speed your going to get a lot of responses saying to ditch the 10bolt as its a piece of crap, behind an automatic it may live a bit longer. If its whining probably going to need at least new gears, and install kit.

If You would describe the noise it would help in determining the problem(s). It might require some axle bearings or it might need more.
Whatever the issue weigh out the cost and work of the repairs versus replacing with a rearend better suited to Your car and Your driving style.

Typically a humming noise is a bearing, the most common bearing to go out is the axle bearing but an intermittent bearing noise sometimes is an indicator of a bent axle. You need to get it checked out soon!

Do the brakes surge when applying even pressure to the brake pedal?

Providing it is in good shape, that is an excellent price!

Are you referring to the price difference, or the difference in construction?
