Are you saying a clutch-based limited slip is better than a mechanical locker like an Eaton locker used in chevy pickups? wow. OK.Sorry but that point you referred to was extremely ignorant, Everything mechanical Wears out or Breaks eventually including Lockers and electric swaybar disconnects. As well his less then 50K hours is Fake News. Regardless it is a relativly low cost maintenance repair and even a DIY repair. With that said just google "Rubicon Locker Problems" there is a lot to fail.
Look all these rigs are subject to excessive maintenance from sport to Rubicon.
It still boils down to the OP's question about the difference and it is simple The main difference between the Rubi and the Sahara is Lockers 4.10 ratio, Swaybar Disconnect and factory lift (which many replace anyway) oh and about a $5K difference, Sahara has Command Trac, LSD
That's it in a nutshell, Unless you are running trails like Hells Canyon at Moab lockers are not nessasarily a good choice for you where as Command Trac and LSD can run circles around Rubis in other off road or road condition senarios. It is personal choice and or needs, ego is not a valid response...
For me Rubicon was not an option simply because they are too heavy to tow behind most Gas Motorhomes which is why we bought the Sahara since it is lighter, plus we have no plans to rock crawl and our winch will get us out of more situations than lockers would,,,
