A Dana 60 is more "efficient", so it makes up for any weight disadvantage it has against an 8 3/4". (9" is the worst and 12 bolt is the best of the popular HD rears. Don't recall if 10 bolt was compared.) I would have gotten a Dana 60 for my small block cars if I knew what gear I'd end up with and could afford the lump-sum purchase of the whole rear.
