silly question...

which do you guys prefer:

a well-shimmed gear/stock diff with a little anti-wear grease; or

a ball diff tightened all the way up?

both diffs are close to spool-like feel, with a little slip

I've been running a tighten ball diff (ta03) but was messing around with one of my stock diffs for the rebuild of my M03 - and thought 'hmmm, maybe this might be better in the M05????' for the record, the M03 had a manta ray diff in it and has worked well - but noticed it wasn't as tight as the diff in my m05

so was wondering what some opinions are
