Default Anyone running a detroit?

Doing a little research on which way to go with the rear axle. I see three realisic options
1) Get a really good deal on a complete Rubicon rear axle
2) Install a selctable locker, either ARB or ected that will work with the 30 spline axles
3) Install a detroit soft locker.

Anyone running the detroit? I had on in my Early Bronco, it was a little squirrly at times, but worked great. How is it in the 4 door?

I ran a Detroit in my 88 YJ with a 12 bolt rear end and it was interesting on the road when it shifted (auto) but I put a Detroit in the front of my JK and so far I really like it. I can hardly tell it is there so far but I have only had it 3 weeks.

I would really like to know how a Detroit Locker behaves on the JK rear axle as well.
