Elockers are 12v operated no compressor required , ARB , Ashcroft do air operated so a compressor is required you can also get ezy lockers auto lockers ,lsd ect and so on.
My preference is air operated over auto acting centres .
Hope this helps

Did they recommend upgrading the axles as well?

Robglewis, many threads and opinions to be found.

depends on your application, and plans.
As a general rule you don't want a locker in the front, for steering reasons.
Personally I will probably go LSD both ends, but I plan to tour, not rock climb or bog bash.

A manual locker in the front would be fine - can turn it off for steering reasons.
OppLock South Sydney would probably be pretty cluey when it comes to LandRovers, but yes, upgraded axles would be a good move.

My personal preference is for full manual lockers (ashcroft, arb, maxi, e-locker)

As already stated, e lockers dont require compressors and air lines, but theres plenty of air lockers out there working away too. In the end it will come down to price, availability, and personal requirements.
