I like how they don't require the maintenance and are not as susceptible to heat like a clutch type but of course they are not adjustable. I know a couple guys love having a Torsen style diff for Autox since its a lot of low speed corners but I have zero experience with either. Just the VLSD that was in my 350

sounds like it similar design to a wave track, but feel and lock it still doesnt compare to a properly setup clutch type. Id tried alot of different diffs on different drivetrains and i still like a traditional, well setup clutch type.
Clutch type LSDs arent ny weaker to heat then torsen, but by design clutch types do produce more heat by function, i have my clutch plates WPC treated to reduce heat and smooth operation.
For Auto X id prefer a clutch type even more since the low speed corners a torsen is more likely to open up
