The Gov loc in the 14 bolt has a better reputation than the 10 bolt. That said, the open case has a stronger 4 pinion design rather than the 3 pinion in the Gov loc. With the open case you can add a Detroit design differential.

I run a Gov Loc in my 14 bolt but I'm saving my open case in the event I suffer the same failure.
