What are you planning on doing with your truck? This will help determine what you need.
Mini spools are prone to breaking. If you want to spool it and lock both wheels together at all times (even when turning w/ no power) then go with a full spool or weld it. I have a full spool in my explorer...it doesn't like asphalt at all but that's ok since it's a trail only rig. A lunchbox or full locker would be better on the street, but it's still going to be a bit squirrelly. Best option is a selectable locker but they're more costly.
