If how and where you wheel doesn't really require a locker you'll be fine. But if most places you wheel really require a locker, and you have a TT, you may have to work your rig much harder which increases your chance of damage. I hope that made sense

As for the axle shafts vs u-joints:
With all but the best axle shafts, much of the time when you break a u-joint you usually do damage to the shaft yokes (ears). If you're going to try and use the u-joint as a fuse, be sure get a good DOMESTIC (no import) 4340 shaft. More money? Sure but you have a much better chance of having the axle survive a u-joint failure.
