Go with any of the limited slips mentioned above and 4.10s
As for brands of gears, try GM, Yukon, Precision

Danny, thee is a really good rear-end shop here in Santa Clara and his prices are very reasonable. Stay with the OEM gear sets and any of the poplular diffs will work. I have the TT and am very satisfied with it.

Mike at rear end specialties on Digulio (off Lafayette in Santa Clara) is the man when it comes to, ah, rear ends. ~$500 total for the swap and gears. ~$400 for an lsd.
