Which is better welding the spider gears or lockers? Don't really care about it being horrible to drive on the road.....

arnt mini-spools pretty cheap, and much safer than just welding an open diff together?

A locker is much better than just welding the gears together.  A locker will still allow for the wheels to turn at different rates when necessary, but lock up when necessary. 

Welding the gears or installing a spool will be very bad for on road use.  Excessive tire wear will be a big problem.

Plus tire spin around corners.
