I've proven, if only to myself, that running a front diff works, tried spools several times and always went back to the front diff....so although most use a spool not every driving style works with a spool. Then you can consider what feels best to the driver.
To the O.P.: I say run a diff up front and see if you like it, you can fit a rear diff to the front of most major brands of cars.
