Not really a question of "must", more how it feels to you, and how the laptimes are.
Very basically, the one-way will give more steering. Downside is a loss of stability if the grip is low. Also, the front one-way gets put under a lot of strain on very bumpy tracks or if you clip the markings, whereas the diff is much more forgiving mechanically.
Don't forget that the ZX-5 has a centre one-way option too.
From my experience the car runs a lot better with the centre one-way than with the centre locked. I've only run the diff up front.
Some people like the front one-way, so why not give it a try!
