Personally I don't like air operated lockers. I would get Kams over ARB anyday as I have seen soo many arb's with broken internals and ripped off air lines.
The best soloution for a cheap bullet proof setup is a defender 110/130 rear salisbury axle and a detroit locker. That will give you really strong shafts , 4pin diff and a decent locker. For the front I would go for a detroit tru trac. Although this setup isn't idea for the road (you cannot turn it off or to open like ARB's) Its the cheapest way me thinks.
Once you get diff lockers you will eventually buy:
Stronger shafts,
stronger Drive members,
stronger CV joints,
Whats the next weak part in the drive train? Where do you stop? Propshafts gearbox clutch?

If you have just one, fit it on the rear as it will improve your ability to go round corners (a useful ability on some roads i find!)

The main danger is the extra load they place on all the other components (unless of course you strenghten everything). If they break your axle going up or down hill you will end up upside down.
