Default considering getting a moser 12 bolt

Hey guys my car is about finished. I had a camd v6 car that made 206rwhp, 200rwtq. I am finishing up diong my LS1 w/ LG g5x3 and stalled 80e with many other parts. I dont wanna crap out my rearend at the beginning soon as Im done with the build so Im looking at buying a Moser 12 bolt from another member. It has a 4.11 gear, setup for normal suspension, aluminum cover, abs, stock width, stock size studs, setu for TCS. I dont know much about rearends but I do know a 12 bolt and 9 in are stronger than a 10 bolt so would I benefit from doing this and how will this effect my power?

side note: My current 10 bolt has a alum cover w/ a GM 3.73 gear. I also think my differential may be going out cuz it makes a clicking type noise when Im slowing down and this was prior to the swap.

it should have a 1-2% horsepower loss over the stock 10-bolt as the 10 bolt is a dyno queen, the extra traction will well make up for it
