Default Limited slip vs. standard differential

I am purchasing a 2009 Ford Ranger Sport 4x4, manual transmission truck and have to decide between a 3.73 limited slip or 3.73 standard differential. Any recommendations?

definitely go with the Limited slip, unless you're planning on pulling out the whole carrier and putting in a locker
