Cam and pawl type diffs tend to be pretty aggressive, hard to drive and
wear out fast. The traditional (read what they used in the old days) is
the Salisbury clutch type diff. It has the advantage of being rebuildable
and adjustable to different degrees of slip, but it's not a locking diff,
it limits slip. The modern choice would seem to be the Quaife type, with
all the gears - it seems to be a torque sensing and distributing deal, but
it wasn't around in the old days although a similar concept diff was
invented in the 50"s I think, I have no idea about wear, and so on.
