The gear, or "Helical" is best because it doesn't need to be rebuilt. It only provide the limited-slip effect only when under high torque application. The pinion gears that connect each output side of the differential carrier are forced into the walls of the carrier under high-torque (because the gears are angle-cut). This locks the differential and prevents once side from spinning more than the other.
