When I finally decide to do the conversion Im going with the 9'' for sure.. everyone has already talked me into it because its such a popular rear and the wide variety of gears u can choose from.

And the ease of swapping gears. Unless you are 100% sure what ratio you want it's the only choice. If you do know the ratio, the S60 is worth considering.

I went with an S60 for my twin turbo build. I got mine from Midwest Chassis & Performance and couldn't be happier!
