Default Eaton

I think the Eaton is a better posi unit then the stock torsen. I have seen the flut/planatary gears destroyed in a basically stock M6, the eaton unit has thicker/stronger planatary gears. Limitations i would say depends on what rpm you are dropping the clutch. M6s are very hard on the 7.5 GM rear, on an A4 the rear is more forgiven.

The dana 60 should solve any problems. With a spool it should be bullet proof. Good luck with the 9's.
