diff. questions

i have an 85 f-150, my buddy an 84 f-250, and my other buddy an 84 bronco. we are looking for some new diff's. what would you guys look for. we are looking for 500 $ max. im looking for a locker "kit" where i use the stock housing and just swap out the gears.

1. lets say we can only afford one diff. would it be better to swap out the rear or the front. we are looking to do some semi serious mudding...

2. which would be choice. posi, limited slip, or locking (no air lockers for us... too much work)

3. which brands, and what is stock spline...is it 19? should we upgrade?

ill be swapping out my stock hub lockers for warn premiums and possibly the hub "fuses" i already broke my stock hub lockers, heh. the other guys have warn standards on their trucks. my front suspension is going to be converted to a solid axle, and im looking at running the stock 4.10 gears. all are manual 4spd's and the two trucks are 351's and the bronco is a 302 w/ aluminum heads, 850cfm double pumper,cam, hooker's, and msd ignition (pretty nice for 1200 $).


any guidence is appreciated.
