Either the Mopar or the Trac-Lok. These are limited slip, and not true lockers. A true or full locker is great at the drag strip or the mud bog, but can be a little hard to live with on normal street driving. The limited slips are a good comprimise between full traction and good street manners.
I'v never used a Trac-Lok myself. But as I understand it, it eliminates clutches and uses a cog type device for the locking mechanism. This is supposed to be a little better than LS, but still street friendly. If you're twoing up boat ramps, this is what I'd use.
Mine has factory LS, and it does just fine for snow, ice, dirt, and moderate mud.

I have an auburn limited slip. I love it so far. Its pretty tight. When doing a three point turn you can feel it working as a differential. (This is not a bad thing) When tapping the gas on slick surfaces both tires will spin together and the back end will wiggle back and forth a little, instead of that annoying one wheel. (This is really cool when it happens for the first time) When i get on it on a dry straight away or turn it puts the power to both wheels and just goes.

auburns are COOL. their a cone style, and provide a much larger surface are then the flat clutch type... much better for longetivity too.
