Invest in 14 bolt or 10 bolt
I posted before asking if a 2012 14 bolt 6 lug rear axle is a direct swap into my 1999 Silverado 1500. After looking around I haven't found any within a few hundred miles that aren't $1k+ in price. So my question is, would it be worth spending the money and building the 10 bolt with a locker and axles I already have or go and buy the 14 bolt? Just not quite sure what route to go. I don't think ill every be over 800 or so hp in the truck and I plan on doing 4wd launches at the track, so keep that in mind. Thanks for the help

I have a 14b in mine, and also 4wd.
4wd technically makes it easier on the rear since the power is now being split between the front and the rear. You would probably be fine with the 10b with a decent limited slip. The 14b is a beefier part, but also more expensive and heavier.
