10.25 Sterling Diff Question

Hey guys, I recently found out the rear axle I bought for my project is not limited slip. Its a Sterling 10.25, 1994, 4.10 gears. I was wondering what would you recommend for a Limited slip diff? Detroit? A locker? Eaton? I need help...

What's the use gonna be? If it's mostly street of any type then a Detroit TruTrac is the way to go, but for heavy offroad use I'd go for a Detroit Locker.
As far as not getting a Ford LS with this axle IMO you didn't miss out on much, unlike the 8.8 version this one isn't as tunable(there is no preload spring) so it's not very capable anyway.
