They are best on smoother tracks and possibly tracks without really big jumps. If the track is bumpy then the oneway will be harder to drive and less consistent. If there are big jumps then you'll have much less ability to control the car in the air with a oneway diff, and that can hurt your lap times of course.

I find a one way great indoors where you can throw the car into a corner off power and drag the car out of the corner on-power.

In my experience, yeah nearly always - but harder to be consistent.

I find the one way (with full working diff) on my car makes it easier to drive in and out of corners on all types of tracks. Total 4wd is not as easy to use, but then again it all depends on the make of your car and your style of driving.

My style is aggressive and in all my testing I have found that without a one way my car is substantially slower than with a one way. Maybe the best route for you is to buy a one way and try with and without and see what lap times your putting in. Obviously the quickest is the best way to go.

Jimmy listed some advantages, but I've thought of another

Disadvantage: handbrake turns with excessive brakes
