The theory is thus ...
Slipper in separate mode allows front and rear to react separately and by using pads with different nominal coefficients of friction (red is grippier than white) you can bias which end the power goes to in preference.
Red in front = more front drive, red in rear = more rear drive
Direct (pin in) mode locks the front and rear together to make it feel more like a conventional 4wd, gives even power delivery to both ends of the car and just one slipping point.
The though is this, direct makes the car feel more "normal 4wd" and gives a more reward balance on power.
My preference is separates but matched pads, that gives the advantages of letting the end with more traction still get the largest % of drive BUT tends to an even balance over all so if both have the same level of traction the car will drive 'normally'.
It is worth playing with, direct mode makes the car feel too dead and locked in at the rear compared to the separate mode ... some will prefer that but I think one of the key points that makes the FS top of the tree is the slipper ... although all, including Shin, will admit you have to experiment to get what suits you but when you do
