Obviously it depends on your budget. However, for as well as they work, I think ARBs are a pretty good deal, even if they are more expensive than a Detroit, for example.

Press a button and they are locked. Press a button and they are unlocked.

Simple. They pretty much always work, assuming a decent install job and you haven't done anything silly like run your airlines next to your exhaust or something like that.

Turn them on at the start of a trial. Turn them off to drive home. No worrisome driving in snow or ice. No fighting the locker on off camber, slippery trail situations where you have rocks or obstacles on the low side of the trail.

Those are just a couple of situations where having the ability to turn off a locker is nice.

Plus, you get a really cool looking row of switches to mount on your dash somewhere if you go the ARB route. That's cache, baby.
