Default Thoughts on TR6060/ C6 Diff swap

Is there any advantage at all for a street/ open track car making 450rwhp to "upgrade" to a C6 Z06/ ZR1 diff and TR6060, or would an RPM built MN12 T56 and RPM built 3-Rib diff with the cooling setup for each be perfectly sufficient/ comparable? I'm wondering primarily about bearing and gear longevity, whether the C6 will stay quiet for longer, etc. I have no plans to put this car on drag radials or even an ET Street so dragstrip discussion does not apply.

If you get the right deal on a c6z setup, I would go that way. The diff and mounting arrangement is much stronger. If you not drag racing, you should be fine either way.
