The way to solve the Truetrac issue (with one wheel in the air or on ice) is to apply the brakes. I have a Truetrac in my winter ride and if I notice the "wild spin", I let it spin down and apply the brakes with my left foot then give it some gas while gently riding the brakes. Works fine. I like that diff for this reason because it really doesn't feel locked around turns so the back end tends to stay planted unless you really (and stupidly) push it in bad weather. Just about every limited-slip unit I've tried is scary on turns if you don't respect the weather conditions. Of course lockers are too if they lock unexpectedly.

I've been scared to try the E-Locker. I read too many folks were breaking them. But that always seemed like an interesting option. It's costs about the same as a Truetrac last I check, but it's been a while.

I also run a good set of studded snow tires in the winter.
