The quaife would be the cheaper solution but in my research there was a drawback to that system regarding if your wheels ever left the ground. Not something that generally occurs during everyday driving but one member had issues when he went over the shoulders on the track (I can't, for the life of me, remember what those things are called. Generally red and white and they line the corners of the track). I mean it was mostly anecdotal but swayed my decision towards a true clutch type LSD like the OSGiken.

Also, the OSGiken does not need to be rebuilt. 15k mi is the interval at which the oil needs to be changed. OSG boasts that they have never had to rebuild one of their clutch type LSDs even though they were made to be done so easily.

My full review here: Another OSGiken Superlock 1.5 way LSD Review...

Parts list from the review:
For 6MT w/ stock vLSD:
OS Giken NS111-HA – OS Giken Superlock 1.5 way LSD (auto uses a different model number)
OS Giken OS011-KA – OS Giken Diff fluid
Whiteline KDT911 – Rear diff bushings
38440-0C000 – Nissan carrier bearings
38220-Z33003 – 350z left flange. This was what I could find and it works, as far as I know the differentials are the same. The 370z part number is ACTUALLY 38220-JK01B (the old one is 38220-1NC1B)
38351-350DK – Nismo finned diff cover
