Default Best 10 bolt Diff???

I have my rear end completely torn down for a full rebuild.... and was looking at the variety of differentials online... what do you guys reccomend, Auburn, Eaton, Zexel Torsen. Detroit?

This is going in a V6, so weakness isnt really an issue, i am mainly looking for reliability, and performance. My current zexel seems real iffy on how it spins both tires, it will sometimes take a few seconds to get the other wheel spinning, and i dont like the way the back of the car kicks out real hard, seems to be a bit dis-proportional.

any imput will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

an auburn would be best. if you need some more strength, a mini spool or a locker/true trac would be better suited.
