Re: The best rear end ?? If I got a good deal like at least 500 less for the 12 bolt I'd take it. Otherwise I'd get the 9inch. I just read an article on them. I'm still no pro cuz I believe it takes experience to claim that you know what you're talkin about. After reading that article I'd say the 9 inch is stronger unless you get a super built 12 bolt with 35+ spline axles... The 9" also takes about 3% more power to turn. I'm not planning on making more than 520rwhp in the next 5 years so I'm going with a 12 bolt with 33 splines.

Re: The best rear end ?? Well i say if u use equal parts in each i.e. 33 spline axles, spool, and alloy axles they will both take the same amount of abuse. There are people in here that launch at 6000 rpms on a 12 bolt hundreds of times. the 9" takes about 3% more horse power which is 8-10rwhp. also the 12 bolt is cheaper and its still a chevy part.
Re: The best rear end ?? for me price difference was only maybe 200-300dollars.got the moser9.reason-just look solid and bulletproof <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> .others have their own opinion.

Re: The best rear end ?? 12-bolt: Strong, can do 3 channel abs, lighter, quieter
9" : Heavier, more driveline loss, a little noisier, stronger, removable center section, 4 channel abs only
Depends on what you're doing. I went with the 12 bolt b/c I'm getting into autocross (and I didn't want to spend a ton of money on an aluminum 9" center section). 9" are also usually a little noisier.
As for Strange or Moser, it's whichever you want. I've heard complaints from both camps. Moser is a little cheaper and built faster, Strange uses stock sized axle tubes (no adaptation for brake lines/swaybar clamps) while Moser goes with 3" tubes. Both tend to whine unless you have someone else set them up.
