Locker Options for 9" Rear

I was wondering if anyone had any options for 9" rear elocker. I know there are many of us that do not like the elockers, but I am a fan for there simplicity and I think they are more dependable than air lockers. Just this beginners thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

I run a full spool in the rear and like it, very simple, cheap and nothing to go wrong, if you don't mind your tires squacking around corners on pavement thats what I recomend. I wouldn't buy another e locker, I have one up front now and just took it to the shop today, it stopped working after 2 years, only a handfull of miles.
People also have good luck with a detroit, but if you want a selectable locker your pretty limited.

X2. If you're looking for simplicity, its hard to beat a full spool or a Detroit.

x3 on the spool but I don't drive my truck on the street much. I ran a detroit on the pavement for years with no problems.

An e-locker is similar to an ARB but uses an electricity to actuate instead of air.
