Limited slip or locker
Just to clear up what was said before, lockers are no good for snow, their harsh engagement and lock traction can easily cause loss of control, the factory L/S is much better under snow/ice conditions. Of course if you have the $$$$ then running a set of ARB's front and rear is really really NICE

Limited slip or locker
I personally have a Dietrot locker in my truck and love it. This thing rocks for the rear, now I just need a Aubrun Gear Pro l/s for the front. Yes a locker is a little aggersive for the street, but for me when I have to climb a muddy driveway, hill, or just have a really ad job site to get to, I wouldn't trade it for the world. Especailly when like this summer my boss and I where framing up a house at the top of a hill and his 01 2500HD Chev 4X4 couldn't make it up the hill to the house, so I backed all the way down the hill, hooked the old 6 cyl to his 8.1 and pulled him and the 18' enclosed work trailer up the hill. 
Then a couple days later after it rained again, I pulled the trailer up the hill on the first try and it still took my boss 4 or 5 runs to make it. My boss is the only Chevy fan at work and he still gets ***** for it, even now.

I took Mustang's advice and got me a 8.8 LS carrier off of ebay for 75 bucks, that will fit my Ranger.
I'm going to try to put it in and try to document the whole procedure today.
Thanks Mustang!
