Neither if you plan on running sticky's/slicks and hitting the track.

A4 or M6? I would swap from the torsen to a eaton,moser axles,motive gears,carrier bearing cap studs,and a good rear cover(T/A).Sticking tires and a 7.5 just do not mix,sooner more so than later with a M6.If you needed more than that,I'd just spring for the 12 bolt or 9 inch.
