For what type use?
For the street the factory Trac-Loc with a clutch restack is probably the best option, smooth operation and good 2-wheel traction when you need it.
For occasional offroad use consider something like a Powertrax Lock-Right, it's easy to install in a stock open carrier and provides true axle locking, but it can be clunky on the street. Another option is the Detroit True-trac which is an all gear driven posi, it's not a locker but it's smooth and delivers TQ to the wheel with grip.
For serious offroad you want Detrot Locker, ARB air locker, or the new Eaton E-locker, all are expensive but provide the most traction possible and are bulletproof.

look at the axle codes on the door post, that will tell if its a LS or not... I dont remember off had what all the codes mean....
Also, with my Aussie locker, I didnt notice much difference on the street than the open diff, just can hear it "click" a bit on corners(normal) and i can slide around nice when streets are wet
