Well both.On road or off road?
I diid take my tractor truck to my friend's property and tried to move some shit around and I hit a few low spots with fresh grass right after it rained, I tore the place up trying to get out, then I put chains on and tore it up some more and got out.
I did get off road with my combo a couple of times, it wasn't pretty, and cost me a fortune in towing.
Once in Nebraska on a soft shoulder that ended up dragging down the hill intp the pine trees, and again in Nebraska the wind blew me into the soggy median.
And once in WA I almost missed my exit and tried to cut off the dirt wedge and got twisted up and the drive tires hit the bottom of the trailer and that was that

Lockers are coming on this truck, air shifted Detroit locker.
And possibly a front drive axle.
I'll admit to not reading this whole thread, but I really like the Truetrac in the rear of my truck. I'm still open in my front D60, someday it will get a selectable front. The truetrac gets a bad rap from hardcore wheelers, but it really does work well as long as both wheels are on the ground, especially on a street driven rig, or one that sees a lot of snow/ice. The drag the brakes trick works to get traction to both sides in the scenario when a wheel is in the air. I've had a Detroit in the back of a manual trans long bed pickup before and it made for some very scary winter driving at times.
Best Options:
If you have the money for it: Selectables front and back.
Truck that sees a lot of street miles in places that get real winters: Truetrac Rear or other limited slip. Front: Selectable, Truetrac front would be decent as well.
For a rig that only sees trail duty, Detroits front and back, or Detroit rear, selectable front.
