What's the best Posi for a 1996 Blazer

My wife and I have a 1996 Blazer with an open diff. Looking to put a posi / limited slip / locker in the rear axle. This is a daily driver which sees some off road use when we go to the lake. It could use improved winter traction also

My son has had excellent results with the LockRight lockers in his '76 crawler. Simple install, works great and only locks when needed.

It could improve winter driving but also put her in the ditch if she isn't used to driving sideways! The rearend will be a 7.5" unless its a zr2 model so any stock posi from a s10, cutlass, monte carlo etc. will work. It depends on how much you want to spend as its just a driver I would get a used stock unit. Posi is limited slip you do not want a locker!
