General rule of thumb is that a ball diff is the better option in low traction, with similar performance in high traction.
Gear seems to require less maintenance is is much less prone to failing. Transmits more drive. Takes more time to make set up changes but is easier to reproduce.
Ball diff is probably easier to drive and quicker to fine tune. A little safer and less aggressive. Needs rebuilding fairly often and is harder to achieve the same feel every time.
