Not going to be able to provide technical advice, just experience. With that out of they way, I had a factory Gov-lock in my 2011 Colorado. It worked, but it never made me comfortable. I could always feel it lock as the whole truck would twinge just a bit when it did. Never broke it and it was handy.
I had a limited slip diff installed in my Town Car. Had one installed in the Firebird, well, swapped in. I prefer the limited slip for those cars as they're always "on" when in good shape. The locker was unpredictable. If I was already going too fast, it wouldn't lock. And sometimes when it did, the ass of the truck would swing out. With the limited slip diffs I have, the cars' behavior was always predictable and controllable with steering wheel or right foot input.
No experience with Tru-trac. I almost had one installed in the Lincoln but decided against it in favor of the limited slip. I don't regret my decision. I've got at least 20k miles on that car with no issues on the install. Was probably done some five years ago too.
