Spool on the street.
Same Moser 12-bolt. I originally bought it with an Eaton Posi and 4.10 gears. 2 years ago I broke the spiders in the posi on a pretty easy launch so I had a spool put in with the same 4.10's. In September I broke the ring and pinion due to wheel hop. Over the winter I rebuilt my original Eaton Posi and swapped in a set of 3.73 gears (I wanted more mph in 4th gear).
I have a Moser 12-Bolt and the Eaton finally started to pull one wheel in the burnout box so I switched to a spool. For some reason I had the same experience where I hooked great on the street before and with the spool it would just destroy the tires. However, it does great at the race track and it cured my inconsistancy problems. Also, I still enjoy driving it even though it can be tough around turns and parking spots. It took me a week to get adjusted to the amount of room that I need to make an easy turn. Lastly, like others have said, I'd recommend it for a straightline car that gets driven once or twice a week.
I will say that it was fun to pull a hard corner in a gas station parking lot or something and have people shy away like the car was about to explode
Mine also worked well at the track. I believe the traction loss on the street is due to the surface of the tires getting chopped up, while at the track you can do a good burnout to clean them up. Just a guess though.

Moser 12-bolt here. Once the spool went in I adjusted the e-brake several times and it always unadjusted within a couple miles. Since I put the posi back in the e-brake has been working perfectly.
I don't have any personal experience with Trutracs, Wavetracs or any of the others. I have heard about Truetracs breaking though (of course I broke my Eaton posi on a relatively easy 4000 rpm motor launch with zero wheel hop, so who knows).

btw, i had the same problem with my spool. with the posi, it was fine, but as soon as the spool went in i had to adjust the brake cable every few weeks or so depending on how much i drove it.
