LSD vs Slicks - Where would the money benefit most?

While I have my car in a million pieces I am thinking of swapping to an LSD transmission. Is it worth it? or would you spend the money on slicks and wheels for traction in a straight line pulls?

I don't do much quarter mile stuff, but when I asked a similar question about if LSD was going to be that useful, ZZP basically stated that LSD wasn't really a big deal and that their current high power setup doesn't even have it. That said, I'd say slicks over LSD if you're thinking digs. I suppose LSD's main advantage is in bad weather and turns mainly, and not so much straight line or digs too.

LSD helps powering out of corners. Ill say slicks if dragging is your thing

The only thing is non lsd transmissions are weaker in the diff area. ZZP is now running the six speed with open diff, but I think it's stronger. They broke the open diff when the car was running 11's still
