Benefits of Strange: Stock sized axle tubes (no customization for swaybar brackets or zip-tying brake lines)
Both have been known to have some whine. Some people have had problems with the Moser's pinion seal leaking. I've seen a lot of complaints about the 30-spline posi in the strange (US Gear), but their 33 spline (Eaton) seems to be pretty good. Moser uses Eaton for both their 30 and 33 spline.
My Moser whines, especially at 50-60mph, but they don't set up the gears too well (it may be better to get a Moser disassembled and have someone put it together to set it up quiet if you go that route). I liked the fact that Moser made their own reluctor rings for the axles (4 channel ABS w TCS), since otherwise Strange wanted my stock rings and my car would have been down for 4 weeks.

Re: moiser 12 bolt vs strange 12bolt I have installed both.
Personally after seeing them I like the strange better for a few reasons.
strange benefits..
1. already assembled and been tested to see if everything is ok.
2. Fitment is better
3. Do not have to reuse stock backing plates already assembled and installed.
4. Gear setup better
Moser benefits
1. a bit cheaper
2. arrives faster
I run a moser 9" and it is nice but I would only use moser for the 12 bolts for these reasons. If you were pinched seriously for money or in a major rush (car just puked rearend and must have on in a week or so.)

Re: moiser 12 bolt vs strange 12bolt I've owned both and barely prefer the Moser when it's assembled by someone other than Moser. Moving to Drivetrain for more opinions.
