Default To LSD or not LSD

I am about to build a new car (FW-05R) and cannot decide to use the LSD gears or not in the rear diff.

I think it gives you a lot of accleration out of corner but it also pushes under power.

What do you all think? worthwhile trade-off or not?

If I were to use the LSD, what weight of oil will you recommend so that it does not lock up too easily?

Thanks!
