Thinking of installing a g80 to 2000 Safari AWD

Hi
I have been doing a lot of reading of different topics about adding limited slip to Astro's and to be honest I became more and more confused on which is the right product to buy.
What I understood so far is that g80 is GM code for the Eaton MLOCKER unit. When I read the product information on Eaton, M-Locker is a mechanical locking system not a positraction or lmited slip.
My question is which am I better off with, the Eaton M-Locker or Eaton Posi ? I live in Minnesota and my use for it will be in deep snow service and forest dirt roads. The AWD works okay until I have to tackle over 12 - 14 inches of snow. I onlt got it stuck once in 18 inch snow drift but luckily a truck passed by and was able to pull me out. I want to avoid that situation going forward.
Thank you
