The best set-up for most guys is two difs with the front dif tighter than the rear dif. A spool and a one way will give you more forward pull because they are locked on power but they have distinct disadvantages for an inexperienced racer. The oneway setup makes braking next to impossible, unless your car is perfect and brake bias is set so brakes wont lock and both the spool and oneway will break more frontend gear if you bang walls because there is no give...lots of $$$in cvd's, arms and front knuckles. Also, both are suited to fast flowing tracks, which most carpet tracks aren't.
Best to use the difs. imho
