Default Truck rear gears question?

Alright, I'm looking at new truck and was wondering whether 3.42 gears or 3.73s would be better? This is going to be primarily daily driver, but I will also be towing a 12 ft trailer quite a bit.

Also, is limited slip an option? I saw locking diff as an option? What's that?

BTW, I'm looking at the LS trim.

Thanks,

Get a 3.73 rear end and the G80 locker. Learn more at http://www.torquecontrol.eaton.com/prod2.htm
