what diff to buy?

Hi, I have a 9" ford and did have a EZ locker in it but just today I made it into many pieces and I was really wanting to go to a posi unit and was wondering what you guys think would be the best. I would stick to the locker but I do too much city driving and haul a trailer and found that the EZ locker anyway wasn't much fun driving around the city with a 16ft trailer. I do truck pulls with this truck aswell and I guess these EZ lockers can't handle too much power. Thanks for any info.

Maybe a Detroit Truetrac all-gear limited slip would be good? I like my Powertrax Lock Right, but I don't do truck pulls so I don't know how it would hold up for you. I don't mind it on the highway and it does great off road. There is also the new Detroit Locker, which is supposed to be more civilized than the original, more like the Soft Locker. Powertrax also makes the NoSlip, which is a more civilized version of the Lock Right. Both the new Detroit Locker and the Powertrax NoSlip are more expensive than the LockRight and the old Detroit Locker. There was a thread going recently about the Torsen limited slip diff too. Maybe search for that thread to see what everybody thought about it.
