Suggestions for an 8.8 diff

I am looking for a streetable LS or locking diff for my currently open 8.8 in my 95F150. Anyone have any suggestions on one that won't break the bank?

I'm running an Eaton ELocker and MAC reinforced cover that supports the bearings and increases gear oil volume. I like it.

There is also an Auburn Elected for the 8.8 but I don't know anyone that's ran it yet.
