Having both one-way and diff is invaluable in trackside setup. But usually just by navigating the track a few laps you can see which would be more suited. On a technical track using 2 by 4's as barriers with 180's or 90 degree turns, using a spool in the front is the best option. On a slightly more flowing, small track, a front diff would be appropriate. If the track is shared by 1/8th scales, then a one-way would be better suited. When I run at Floyd I usually use a one-way or a heavy diff in the front, because of its flowing, symmetrical layout.
