1. Nothing other than personal preference. The new 12mm allow you to alter track width by using different hexes.

2. The centre diff controls the output of power between the front and rear wheels, therefore it's better in low traction conditions. In low traction I run the centre diff with 150k oil. As the back of the car spins up, more power is transferred to the front, making the car more stable and easier to drive.
