I changed my pads 2 times but there are 650hrs on my avenger. I think it's putty good

that would be a very good idea, it would only work with an air locker though and no other type unless it was cable operated, best idea would be an air locker the idea behind an air locker is it has big side gears and will still differentiate when not locked BY THE WAY A T-20 IS THE BEST..
Some more reading for folks that are interested in how these things work and why designers might choose one system over the other.

This one leaves out separate drives per side which leaves out the Mudd-Ox design. (But nobody has mentioned that so far)
They didn't design it, but they did choose it for a reason.
[edit] Whoops, you say limited slip here but I read (assuming you meant) open. Anyway, my answer is about the design they did use.
There is a lot to brake system design. All friction brake systems turn motion into heat that has to be dissipated somehow. Disc brake systems make heat even in non-braking mode because the pads make contact with the rotor 100% of the time. Car brake system designers go to length to make sure there is proper air flow over the system for cooling. The Argo has the rotors tucked out of any natural air flow so it needs a fan. The military will often choose a dry system (for clutches too sometimes) because maintenance is much easier; you don't have to open a wet case to replace consumables.
Lasts longer? I don't know about that. In the transmissions forum you'll see a few threads of folks breaking open an Argo transmission (both kinds) to fix and a bunch of folks opening up T-20 mostly to replace friction material. The transmissions both seem pretty tough to me. The Admiral is currently under proven and time will tell.
Nothing but speculation here but I would expect better than California stop and go traffic but worse than highway sort of mileage. You'll have to convert that to Argo hours.
