I've had all types. I am currently running front and rear TT, and will never have another type.

The problem with limited slip is in extreme conditions the power transferred to the other axle shaft is Limited. I believe I saw a video about LSD on the TeraFlex site that explains it in more detail. Saying that people that run them love them because there are no switches to turn on or compressors/air lines to worry about its all automatic and its probably the best choice for 90% of what people do with their Jeeps.

I'm a control freak thats why I drive a Manual. I don't want a computer to decide on what gear I should be in. It's the same for my lockers I want to decide when to lock up. Sometimes I want to tackle a trail open/open for the challenge or just to see if I can do it. With auto lockers you don't get that choice. If you can afford it go with selectable lockers in the front and rear. If you can't I would save up and get what you really want if you settle your going to have regrets later down the Road/Trail...

If the OP is putting Rubi lockers in his sport, then none of the above is accurate. The lockers wouldn't be limited by the ECU. They run with a normal switch just like Eaton E-lockers and can be engaged in any TC position and in any order.

I intend to go TruTracs myself.
As much as I intended to get TruTracs, I ended up with a set of Rubicon axles geared to 4.88 with the eLockers intact. Man, do these make a HUGE difference.

This is correct. I run my old rubicon axles in my sport with 488s and 37s. Pretty capable rig
