I would put a Truetrac in the front and an ARB (will be close to $1000 installed) or Detroit Locker (probably about $700 installed) in the back. For a limited slip the Truetracs work great. If you don't mind hearing the snapping and clunking and ratcheting of the Detroit it will be fine. The ARB is the Cadillac of the lockers but you pay the price, not to mention you need to make sure the shop doing the install knows what they are doing. You also have the added expence of an onboard air compressor and the risk of leaking air lines or damaging the air lines while offroad.

My old '89 4Runner had a Detroit out back. It was my daily driver and once used to it the Detroit was no problem, actually it became quite fun. Good luck!
