What about a locker like this? I know this one isn't the cheapest of them but one similar to it.

In the rear would be fine. Some are better than others..... I think one of the off-road magazines did some reviews on a selection of them in the not so distant past..... Front axle becomes a bit more interesting.... a locker will stay engaged whether the front is being powered or not. So, expect a bit of a gas mileage hit.... (1 or 2 points would be my guess) Aside from that...... lockers in front tend to give some strange driving performance too... Of course, there are members here that run lockers front and rear on daily drivers, and don't have a problem with it. (there is even a video posted in one of the threads here.... been a bit ago though.)
Limited slip in front wouldn't be any better than a locker. Ideal solution would be a selectable locker... but, those start getting REAL expensive.
