I've ran both, for similar periods of time. I started on 3000wt CST oil and have moved thicker to 5000wt. This makes the geared diff have the same 'feel' as a ball diff so you are then able to make direct comparisons on how each one functions differently.
For the record a gear diff isn't a nightmare in the wet. It handles pretty much the same as a ball diff if you have it set-up to feel the same. It's difficult to tell in less you change it back to back on a race meeting as the change is very subtle, they just work very differently. People that think the difference between a ball diff and a geared diff is like night and day are wrong because they've been running a completely different set-up on their gear diff to compare.

I've been running 7000wt an it runs great, to me anyway but on a scale for ball diff an gear diff (if u ran a thick enough oil in the geared diff to make a comparison) what seems to run better mechanically?
