Keep in mind, if you lock both ends, you are putting A HUGE amount of stress on everything. Use limited slip in one end if you are not going to be doing serious rock crawling, by serious I mean you are constantly running with guys with no fenders, spools and lockers, welded cages and 37" tires. Personally, I would try to keep the rear street-friendly, and make the front the tough side. After all, you will be driving it in 2wd on the street to get where you are going, and nice manners there really help.
