it is going to be your preference... and the depth of your pockets...

you can do a detroit in rear... however it will still chirp and make a rougher characteristics.... I went and got mulch (2yards) in the back of my truck and handled fine..even when I had to turn from a light....

front? air locker, electric locker?

I am running a detroit in front and rear.... if you have locking hubs... then you can do anything as you can unlock them on the street.....
I paid $350 for my rear detroit and $600 for my front (carrier replacement)

detroit now has the electric detroit... like $900

I have detroits front and rear also, but I am also 1 ton. If I had a D44 in front, I'd seriously consider a lunchbox locker, like the Aussie Locker. Rigs with lighter duty axles and spools or detroits seem to go through axle shafts faster. The Aussie is a good design and only costs $229 or so for a D44 model... not bad at all.
