Default Front Torsen vs mechanical plated diffs

Hi all

Iam thinking about my next mod - front LSD.
There are two options:
Sti front helical or Quaife ATB what is basicaly Torsen
and
Cusco RS-Type Plated Front LSD what is mechanical plated LSD

Torsen is great for dry tarmac, not very well on icy or snow roads due its functioning. If road surface is slippery ATB performance is poor. Big pros is lifetime and no maintainance.

Plated is super on gravel or ice/snow but I dont know how many mls before rebulit and how they work on dry tarmac? Witch one to get 1 or 1,5way?

I need it for winter to improve turn in and of course for summer improve cornering speeds

Do you have somebody experiences with booth models?
