I am rebuilding my rear end and am still undecided on what Diff to buy. There are three choices that I have narrowed it down to: Eaton E- Locker, Detroit True Trac, and Auburn Pro.

For the Axles, I have finally decided to get the 31 spline axles, but dont know which brand is the best for my application. I have eliminated Superior, but am still looking at Strange or Moser.

Basically I have a car with a full interior (on the verge of installing a cage)but the car is getting radical enough to be a little bit of a terror as a daily driver. Its loud, and full of nuts. My best time is 12.1 in the 1320', but I should be turning 11.5 next season which will make a cage mandatory. Looking to keep this a steet/strip car, so a limited slip or e locker is the only way to go for me.
 
It looks like you want a locker, but the Auburn has me confused. If an Auburn is a choice, why not an Eaton limited slip? And if your thinking E-locker (good locker, but $$$), why not an ARB? ARB is considered the "best" by 4x4 crowd for strength, and is a couple bucks cheaper from what I have seen.
