Being the way the Dakotas are setup in the front end(no locking hubs etc) I would not get a locker up front unless you were using the truck offroad only.

Get a selectable locker up front, preferably an ARB air locker. Electric ones have a known failure rate. For the back, a Detroit will do you good but another air locker would be better.

I'm putting a lock-right in the back of mine. $350 shipped. I wouldn't lock the front since you'd be asking for broken CV shafts.
