Well that is certainly an option, but I think swapping diffs just to have a selectable locker is overkill. I don't think ARB has released the 3.54&down R230 locker yet (still waiting on 50 orders) so I would still be waiting. And sinking roughly $3k+ in the rear end which I could probably do a M226 SAS for less.
In my mind the V6 R51 with the fulltime 4wd option and a selectable rear locker is the most desirable. Depending on use, either a mechanical LSD or auto-locker would be next.
A guy over on Expedition Portal is trying the R200 Quaife in the C200k which if it works could be viable option for us as an LSD. Over on TitanTalk, guys are swapping out the stock e-locker for a TrueTrac which is the same as a Quaife. There are several reviews raving about the mechanical LSD + ABLS capability.
LesterB is rocking the autolocker and hopefully Powertrax takes his measurements and is willing to sell them c-clip compatible.
So all we need is a selectable locker option and the R200 would have all the options we could want.
We just have to convince these companies its worth the investment as the R200/C200k is used in the 350z, G35, Xterra, Frontier, Pathfinder, 370z, and G37. Thats a whole lot of vehicles.
