What Differential do you run/like?

I am in the market for a good Differential and just cannot make up my mind. I see multiple good/bad things about each unit and wanted to here from some first hand experience.
It is for my truck, info in sig. I am looking for a diff that will allow me to do some 3,500-4,000 RPM 2-step launches but I will only be doing this maybe 10 times a year. I do daily drive this truck for now but eventually it will be just a fun street/strip truck. I am looking at 4.30 gears to go with it.
My rear end is a 8.5" 10 bolt

I've had good luck with my Trutrac. Zero complaints.

Even though I'm still on the 10 bolt I've had great luck with the Trutrac as well

Thanks everyone. I think I am going to buy the Trutrac with the 4:30 gears.

I have the Strange S-TRAC in my 9in. For such a heavy duty piece, it is pretty quiet with 4.10 gears.
