At the end of the day it is personal opinion and personal choice But!
One can not go wrong with positive locking differentials and that means manual locking

I agree but ATB with ETC would be awesome climbing and turning at the same time and is fully auto. So I reckon some places the front ATB with ETC would be more useful and better than a locker. On straight climbs positive lock is king. Cheers

Sorry
What's ATB?

So is it too hard to flick a switch must be ,
Really it is harder reaching for the radio mike than it is to flick a locker switch

Automatic torque biasing I believe.

Isn't that pretty much what the standard Traction Control does?

ATB is a Torsen style lsd that uses helical gear seats to constantly transmit torque to both sides of the diff, as opposed to friction plates. Works exceptionally well with the standard TC

That's what the acronym stands for.
