Definitely a lunchbox style is cheapest if you already have an open differential. Aussie and Detroit and a couple other companies make them.

i put an aussie in the front of my truck and it works well and clicks like crazy. the only thing a locker in the rear isnt good for is towing, so if you do alot of that i would consider a posi.

i said this because sometimes lockers can be a bit violent in the rear if your not used to it locking and unlocking.
