2 way is the best differential for general use
spool is best for 100% dry grip, 2 way is better for rain though, irrelevant for street/drift cars though

hlsd and vlsd are crappy compromises for "sporty" street cars

helical diffs dont engage. there is no clutch in a helical.

a hlsd will break before a clutch diff.

hlsd is stupid because it randomly biases torque depending on load so its totally unpredictable, plus you will still get stuck if you pick up a wheel on a driveway, since it will still bias all the torque to the wheel in the air, like an open.

i probably missed some stuff, maybe somebody else can jump in here and clean it up
