I would suggest the gears and posi. I think that you will notice that mod the most. Then youwill exactly how much power your actualy getting to the ground and from there you will be able to determine what kind of LCA's, panhard and T/A to buy. As far as brands go....for the gears get genuine GM parts, my brother in-law has richmond gears and they make noise. And for the posi, a lot of people will tell you to buy the SLP $99.00 zexel torsen unit. I wouldnt. Just go with a eaton or auburn. The SLP unit is not rebuildable, there are no relaceable parts. These units are also not going to be around forever, when they're gone....they're gone. Go with the eaton or auburn....its more now, but its a better unit and you dont have to shell out for a whole new one when the clutches wear out.
