Hello 94prelude…it is difficult to understand your question. If you are talking about acceleration then both wheel do. But if you were talking about suspension then I would have to go with your alignment. If your alignment is off your car tends to pull to one side of the road. It is called your "toe". Here is a website I found that may be helpful.

Do a search on Limited Slip Differentials (LSD) and atts. There have been discussions on which one it better and the best to use, i.e. 1/4 mile or autocross.

here is my non-technical explanation

Limited Slip differential is something that compensates for wheelspin/traction loss on one wheel by putting power to the one with grip. There are various kinds of LSD's. ATTS is a computerized system that does the same thing in theory. here's a good primer (and install for J30 LSD swap into a silvia) http://www.240sx.org/links/installs/lsd2/index.htm

here's how stuff works' version: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/differential.htm

I have a base Lude so i've never experienced ATTS, but i hear it pushes a little during hard cornering. Most SH guys i know at Auto-X disengage it before their runs. LSD's on the other hand provide gobs of traction and everyone i know with one loves it. It's a weird feeling at first but in the end, quite lovely to drive a car with LSD.
