From a pure durability standpoint I'd have to defer to popular belief that
the Detroit is the stronger of the two. I can't speak about the street
manners of a Detroit unit but I do have to disagree with your opinion that
the No-Slip is so horrible on road. I have them front and rear and for the
most part it's been pretty transparent. The only time I can really remember
noticing in on the road (in any remotely negative fashion) was when I was
towing a loaded trailer uphill and got strong solid shifts. On that
occasion I got some mild lurching but nothing I'd consider "dangerous". Not
even close.

For the money and ease of installation, and considering I'm not one of those
guys that just HAS to get over that obstacle at any cost, I'd say the value
is hard to beat.
