I really personally have a strong preference towards torsen over clutch-type, mostly because the engagement on a clutch-type diff can be harsh, and the need to rebuild is a PITA. I understand that the OSG has relatively mild rebuild needs, and it doesn't come on too harshly. You'd probably be better served talking to someone that has run with one.

For my money, I'd go with quaife, although I will say that it seems like clutch-types are getting more civil.
Thanks, I'll hit up spohn. Leaning toward quaife myself, but so many good things said about OSG. I better get testimonials on it. I have experience on quaife, torsen, cusco and this in house vlsd. Cusco works well when it works but has a short life span and a major PITA to rebuild. I rather spend the extra money in something better. Quaifes worked great for me so I have some bias in that area so i can use some schooling. There are lots of LSD's out there for the Z now. Just wanna make the right purchase the first time around. Performance and reliability must be equally high.
