Which should I look for and which would be easiest to install and which would be less maintenance? lol Sorry for the questions but I'm thinking of adding one to my rear end. either that or a limited slip in the rear and a locker in the front

 

For a front d30, an e-locker or arb would be good selectables. For the rear d44, an arb is the stronger choice. If you go with limited slips, the eaton detroit truetrac is probably the one to get. You just need to decide which way to go.

TrueTrac/Truetrac
Elocker/Truetrac
ARB/ARB

Probably doesn't make a lot of sense to go elocker/arb.
A rear elocker is an option, of course, just be aware that it is a weaker design than the comparable arb, so base the decision on your tire size and usage.
Truetracs are a great option for those that don't spend a lot of time with wheels in the air, and will be kinder to a d30 than a full locker.

Post 7 in this thread has some good info:

For the install/maintenance, all 3 are full case, so they will all require the same amount of work. The elocker will need wiring and a switch. The arb will need air lines, an air source, wiring and a switch. Truetracs are good to go as is.

 

All I have to add to Nthinufs good advice is that if you do a locker on one axle, the rear is the better choice. You don't actually spend much time with the front wheels locked. Add in that usually you are going uphill when locked and the rear is doing most of the work, and the D44 is the stroonger axle, if you lock one diff the rear is the way to go.

 

I have an aussie front and an e-locker in the rear. Rarely do I use the rear. The front locked up seems to get me through 90% of the stuff.

 

How is the aussie for daily driving?

I think you'll find with selectable lockers the rig is very difficult if not impossible to turn with the lockers engaged. With selectables, you don't spend a lot of time locked in front.
