The lockers are fairly similar. Not a lot of difference that I know of. Sliders, not sure. Solid dif covers are good and strong.

Jeff put a Spartan in my front diff. It does good and I don't recall him having too hard of a time.
I love my Solid front cover too. It's taken a few hits no problem.

I had a lock rite in the front of my TJ which is the same as aussie. It was still working fine when I got rid of it. The locker was about years 6 years old. I had a rock hard cage in my jeep and it was well build and fit the jeep well. As far as diff covers don't know much about the solid. I had riddler covers and they held up real well for me. There my .02

Put an Aussie in the rear of the XJ last week then went to Superlift and let my 17 year old son beat it like a rented mule, it survived. I think it will be fine.

I've used both and they both held up to a good beating..
The only difference in the Spartan and the Aussie is, Spartan has a hardened cross shaft.. easier to setup due to the design of the springs.. and doesn't reuse the thrust washers..
Either one is fine tho.
