Looking through the club archives, there is much discussion on this topic. I also found a superb write up on the variations of the diffs Nissan made + types of LSDs used. Thought it may be of interest:

So come on experienced heads, what would you use on a road going R200 diff without silly torque / power?
Also it seems like LSDs have produced diff whine in the past.
Would something like this just drop into a long nosed R200? It looks like a good / relatively inexpensive option. Although I know you get what you pay for so what's the catch?!?

From what I gather:
Clutch versions (CLSDs) need maintenance,generate lots of heat and can be quite aggressive , especially at low speed causing understeer.
The Quaife ones are great but being one way have shortcomings when wheel lift occurs. Although I can imagine the lifetime warranty (even if raced) is attractive to the club "strippers".
OS Giken - awesome but out of the average price range.

KAAS/Cusco- plate based but durable and do 1.5 and 2 way, with the 1.5 being the most suitable for the likes of me just "road racing" and the odd track day.
Nissan Viscous LSDs - are the smoothest but apparently generate lots of heat and can cause leaks / need some kind of external storage for the LSD fluid (is that last bit right?) hence you can vary viscosity.
