Front differential locker, posi, open...?

I've been trying to pick out a new carrier for my Dana 44 front. I'm changing gears and need a new one and thought about going with a traction adder of some kind, but can't decide which one.

My truck is mostly a cruiser. It doesn't see a lot of abuse but occasionally I'll take it down a road or through crap it has no business being near. I also drive over mountain passes frequently, so I like to have it in 4wd earlier due to possible ice.

I want to avoid lockers because my wife occasionally drives my truck and I don't want to have to explain to her each time how to drive with a locker in the front.

Should I go with a posi? TrueTrac? Open carrier? Something else? What do you guys recommend?

The rear has a TrueTrac. It's got 33" tires, no plans to go bigger.
