if you have done any type of "real" wheeling, you would realize that you would get further with a open/open 4wd then a locked 2wd.
with that being said, i say lock the rear. it depends on what axle you have (maybe it was mentioned) but lockers can be transferred or you can still use your rear axle if you swap to 4wd.

Even locking my front diff after wheeling with the rear locked was a huge difference.....
That traction test doesn't test the "locker vs LSD" its a traction control test, testing trac and vsc systems, not really a test that applies to "offroad" use. also a LSD is a half assed lazy locker IMO... lol grabs when it wants but isn't really locked..
