Want a DIRECT SWAP lsd rear end...need suggestions.

So I'm looking for a rear end that will swap directly in with minimal modification. I intend to do a great deal of craigslist lurking and junkyard crawling and I'd like to know what I should look for and what cars might have what I'm looking for. I'm not averted to Ford rears as long as I dont have to do any cutting/welding.

I'd prefer to have a gear ratio over 3.

Any third- or fourthgen rear of course. The following link will help with 10-bolt identification and other considerations--combination valve, parking brakes cables, speedo problems:
