Both are good. I have an Auburn in my car with no problems. I'm making more than 450HP.

I have 28 spline aurburns in my car and I make more paoer than what you listed.
My car is my sole driver and they hold just fine with the car and the beatings.

Aren't Auburns or Auburn Pro non rebuildable? Eatons I believe are. But if you are going to through any hp at it they all suck. Auto's will prolong the inevitable. But being you have a fox and only going to make 350-450 I'd get a 31 spline T-lock. If you want to rebuild your rear one time get either a spool or a locker. But streetability wont' be as good as other diffs. IMO my locker is the best insurance I've bought. -Mark
