If you were going to spend money on a locker you could put ATB's front and back for pretty much the same price as one locker. They are always active and you don't need a compressor etc.
I have a MY13 TDCi and have progressively replaced all of them to get rid of my back lash problem. Previous vehicle was a 1999 D2, stock. I really notice the difference on dirt now the ATBs are in
There are a few threads about them on here and other forums. IMHO if you have traction control as well, ATB's will give you 90% of what a locker will do.
Having said that I don't think you would need either, though my two cents worth is that you should seriously consider what spares you will carry.

x 2 for the ATBs if you want to spend more on the drivetrain. I have the similar trutracs (ATBs not available at the time) on both cars and I love the confidence of fit and forget and the lesser strain on driveparts than lockers. Now to get the centre ATB from Ashcrofts and 7th heaven here I come.
