It seems the useful combinations we would consider are the open, Quaife type, ZF type and the Phantom Grip. The lockers are impractical, and the track cars would just run a welded rear.

I know there is a difference between the Quaife and the ZF, because I hear the autox guys rave about the Quaife, and the track guys say they suck.

Quaife and ZF work VERY differently.

and I would also argue that the paul guard brand of GT (also a clutch pack) works very differntly in real world application than a ZF, so add one more to the list.

The GT and ZF are both Clutch packs, but the GT allows different ratio's of ramp up/slip on both Accel and Decel, where as the ZF only allows one ratio period. So in real world applications they are very different when used. (although using the same technology to get there)
