Which rear locker to get?

I think I have it narrowed down to either a Detroit for 765.00 or the power trax for 465.00.I was told both are good and should hold up to the cummins.The shop owner said the detroit is solid and will slide the tire in a turn while the power trax will unratchet to allow for turning.I thought the detroit allowed for this also.I can't handle this lsd I have now.It is embarrasing getting stuck on wet grass with 10,000 lbs of wood on a gooseneck.I'll be getting one of these about the end of May when school is out.Please help with advice or opinions.btw both prices were installed.
