I haven't heard much good about the Auburn ones, the Eaton ones have good marks though. I have a good friend I trust get Auburn to give him his money back after he broke two in a D44 running 33's in his TJ. He cracked the first one, so that the right axle shaft popped and made us think he blew an axle shaft. The second one quit working due to a problem with the electronics.
I've played with an Eaton, it was very nice. I still like the OX and ARB better though. OX, because you get a strong diff cover and one of the toughest lockers out there. Adjustment of the cable is easy and no big deal. ARB's are slick and I like them because you then have on-board air, just get stronger air lines and you are good to go.
If I had money for any of these, I would get one for the K-5 when I put the 3/4 tons underneath it in a few weeks.
