Default Eaton elockers?

I am interested in adding lockers to my jeep when I regear. I have the D30 front and D44 rear. I am leaning toward the Eaton elockers for both. My questions are:

Are they available and if so what are the part numbers?
Any input on reliability?
Comparison to ARB?

My other idea was to go with a Detroit autolocker in the rear and a selectable up front, but I am concerned about street driving. I have the 4dr so I believe the impact of an auto in the rear won't be as bad with the longer wheelbase. Any feedback on my assumptions? Not sure it matters but I am running 35" tires. Thanks.

Yes I have them in the 30 but I don't know the part #.

I've never had them before, but they are Eaton's. Only been in for 3 month.

One's electric and one's pneumatic. One's American made, one's made buy people with really cool accents. If you know what Eaton does it will make you wonder why it's electric. Eaton does lot's and lot's of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
