A box without an LSD is under less stress because when it is under too much strain in certain circumstances one wheel will spin (Releasing some pressure). The LSD box will send torque to both wheels, resulting in more strain on the casings.
Please note i am no gearbox expert, but have a keen interest in them as i just fitted my 4th LSD box last week
Personally i would rather run an LSD box and change it more often. I think you get much better traction in corners because of it
Yeah, one of the main RST characteristics to pull itself round corners if you floor it.
However I get a annoying whining noise from my LSD box as soon as I release the clutch. It's nothing to do with load, it's just always there. So it's either the input shaft, or, if I'm very lucky, just something minor like the clutch release bearing.
