Apparently the d30 elocker is a good choice. The d44 version, not so much. The ected uses clutches. It may work fine for you, but clutches have a bad habit of wearing out, and it can't be rebuilt.
And if you choose the "minimal investment" route for that front 30 instead of a thousand dollar selectable, look at a lunchbox or a truetrac.

Take the Eaton over the Auburn. I have the same jeep as you and just did a ton of research on this. The Auburn is a clutch system and can have trouble releasing and may even slip when locked. Even through the Eaton is 2-pinion it still a good realiable unit. Especially on a lighter 2-door.
