A welded diff does not yield, at all. So unless your goal is to soley slide the rear out, the welded will work great.

Even 2-way LSDs, before they reach the inital torque value, will not be locked, so you can actually feed some throttle into a corner and not have the diff in locked mode, thus allowing yourself to enter into the corner without the understeer, and when you've reached the point to accelerate out of the corner, you feed in more throttle, and the initial torque on the LSD is met and locks, providing you traction out of the corner.

Same scenario with a welded diff would be harder to pull off since the welded diff doesn't unlock at all... you can play with weight transfer, but at the end of the day, the diff doesn't unlock, your wheels are turning the exact same speeds no matter what.
