With a one way I dont experience drag brake off throttle but Im guessing that with a spool I will notice this effect even more than a standard diff since it's like having the front drivetrain locked. I can imagine the stress this puts on the outdrives, cvds, etc.
all the things everybody has explained are true but the best way to find out what works the best for you is try all of them .and figure out the one best suits your driven style you may love a spool and you may hate one but you won't know to you try it out.me personaly i love a spool but iam a little faster with a oneway but the spool is more forgive in one since as far as car handling goes but rougher on drivetrain parts go's its a trade off .
