The 8.8 has plenty of parts and pro's out there to make it darn near bullet proof. Witness all the 5.0 Mustangs running sub-10 sec 1/4 miles..with 8.8 rears. The 8.8's big advantage over the other rears you mention..esp the 9"..is efficiency. The 8.8 draws a lot less power out of the motor than any of the others. For sources, pick up any of the magazines that cater to the 5.0 crowd. To simplify, call or check out Currie Enterprises. They are probably the premier differential builder going for retail use.
