Re: whts good posi?
I've heard very good things about the Zexel-Torsen diff from the '98-02 LS1 F-bodies. They seem to work really well, they are quite strong (for a 7.5" diff), and since they are all mechanical internally there are no clutches to wear out. Thats the route I would go for a 7.5" rear end.
Honestly though, with anything making even 450hp at the crank, nevermind at the wheels, you are going to be changing broken rear ends every time you fill up the tank.

Re: whts good posi?
If the posi you have now is working properly, you won't really gain anything by changing it. If you do change it, I still stand by my suggestion. Detroit Locker would also be a good choice, but I honestly can't remember if they make one for the 7.5" or the 9-bolt.
