A limited slip differential (LSD) locks the rear wheels only when they break traction. This allows the car to go around turns without skipping, as many welded difs do.
Welded difs (generally) are best suited for track/drift only cars, but there are plenty of guys who rock them on the street. I like a comfortable ride in my semi-performance vehicle, so i stick with a semi-performance dif.. the vlsd. Best of both worlds in my opinion, when taking into consideration of cost, comfort, and performance.
