Unless I am mistaken, we're talking about hubs, not differentials.

"I have short wheel base 4x4 vehicle (Suzuki Samurai) with manual hubs on
front axles, "

Well, I guess I misunderstood. I thought he was asking about locking hubs. Which would mean my answer made sense. But since he was talking about diffs, it doesn't and yours does.

I think that manual locker are better, so I will save some money and get ARB
cause I don't wan't to get out of the car and unlock the hubs everytime I
wish to make a turn.

Meh! Just weld it up. When you are off wheeling just lock the passanger
side
hub in. When you get into something hard and want both going, just jump
out and lock in the driver side. When you are on the street with both
hubs un-locked you will never notice it.
Remeber though, with a locker of any kind, if it is on, it will be VERY
hard to steer with-out power steering. Watch them burfields on the Sami
axels, they are not as common to go as the Toyota ones, but I would carry
a spare if you are locked in anyway in the front.
