the cable ox lockers are more expensive then the ARB. the E lockers are a bit cheaper then air lockers.
the question should be how much do you wheel, type of wheeling. Aussie lockers are awesome, have a no hassle warranty and can be installed in both front/rear axles. they run about 225-250 for each unit.

I have a aussie locker in my front D44 and love it.
I have a spool in the rear, and wouldn't recommend it unless you don't drive on road much.
A aussie would be a good locker for the rear also... (not sure if they make it for a 8.8 rear though)

The 78 Bronco Ford 9" rear has 31-spline axles. Cheapest traction aide is a mini-spool ($30), which I put in the one I had in my 84 Bronco. I put a full spool in the front Dana44 TTB. That was about $90-$100 for the spool, not much more than a new carrier if you're swapping to bigger gears. I went from 3.50 to 4.56.

Dana 44 XD14430 for the front and Ford 8.8 XD48831 for the rear. Currently
both are on back order but sales is expecting to get another shipment in
about two weeks.
Thanks for your interest in the Aussie Locker.
I did an inquiry and this is the response
