I'll probably have a local shop that specializes in diff/trans work do the install, I don't have the expertise or patience to sit around trying to shim gears together perfectly (I've done it before on an old truck - it sucked and I doubt we really got it perfect, but it kinda didn't matter on that vehicle!).
My shortlist from remembering older threads: Cabonetics, OS Giken, Nismo.

Fingers crossed, I still hope with my diff cooler that the OEM can be used fairly well. We know the diff fluid reaches 300* + on the track. That can't be good for the silicone filled VLSD. But if you could keep that fluid always cooler, the silicone might do its job as well as it does on say lap one...all I know is just being on the highway my fluid hits 204* after 45 min. Within 10 seconds the temp drops 40* when I hit the switch. Highest I've had it with the pump on was like 164* I think. Only time will tell now.
