8 3/4.  Very strong (not a Dana 60, but still very good), lots of support, easier to change the gearing - what's not to like?  I was very happy when I bought my car and saw an 8 3/4 underneath.

9.25??? Did you mean 9.75(Dana 60)?
Can't see a reason to use the non Dana unless u have nothing else to use

[MEK-Dangerfield]

What are your intentions as far as how you will drive the car? How much horse power are we talking about?

in my experience the 9.25 is weaker then the 8 .75, by the time Mopar switched to the 9.25 the HP was down
 I would use a 8.75 or the Dana only

Dana is great for high horsepower and racing, but big bucks for parts and gears.  I would stay with the 8 3/4.

I like my Dana.    but as others have posted, gear swaps with the 8 3/4" are a breeze
