The open rear-end is considered safer because driving both tires when they slip causes the rear of the car to move sideways. Driving only one tire allows the non-driven tire to retain traction and the rear won't have the same tendency to spin.

Its like a posi traction. I would be all over the place if I didnt have it because I spin my wheels pretty easily even with T/C on.
