Default 2004 Rancher 400AT 4wd system

Help me out here. My 400 AT has been in mud, and just yesterday a frozen swamp. The swamp was tough, b/c I was breaking through about 3-4 inches of ice as I went along. The front tires were trying to grab onto the ice, which was pretty cool. I purposefully did this to see if all 4 tires were pulling, and indeed they were. When I was stuck in a mud bog over the summer in 2x4, I came to a complete stop, switched to 4x4 and ESP, which, with some body english, pulled me through. Again, I looked down and saw all 4 tires pulling. I've not gotten stuck yet, and in the case of this mud bog, it was a non-existent bottom (mud over the tires). So what is the downside to Honda limited slip? I personally think this "locker" may be over-rated, although I honestly have never used one. Never have had to..... Please enlighten me as to the infatuation with the locker.
yes the honda limited slip has really no problems with one tire stopping unless under extreme pressure, but the downside is that it will wear out haveing less grab. but if that happens get the detroit locker!!

Thanks for the advice. What wears out on the Honda? The front differential? How long does that typically take? Is it covered under the Honda extended warranty?
