So basically the stock 2 pad slipper correct?
Personally, I was quite happy with the RC Shox Center Diff and felt it gave me the best performance in that area with adjustability, but its not cheap.
At a minimum, you may find going with some garodiscs gives you much more consistent performance over the stock slipper setup. Based on what people have said, it appears similar in performance to the regular VTS Slipper setup.
You could also try the Exotek option. This is pretty cheap, and I have heard people liking it but never used it since I already had the center diff.
If the surface is bumpy, you can probably find benefit to using 2 stage or similar pistons. I really liked the RC Shox ones. worked great indoors carpet and outdoors big loose track.
For a recommendation on a setup on AE sites, if I was started like you are, I probably would give Max's setup a look, though, he does use MIP pistons I believe.
If you would like a loose track setup to try, send me your email. I have one that prior to selling the vehicle I was quite happy with. It uses several option parts, but, you can modify as needed for your usage.
I would however recommend picking up the M2C rear toe in block as that extra bit of toe in on the rear was a REAL LIFE SAVER for me to get the rear end to stick on the sc10 4x4.
