Open difs really only put power to one wheel. A limited slip has clutches that allow for both wheels to spin together, but once a predetermined torque is reached it will open up to allow for tracking around turns. A locker fully locks the rear wheels together. If I were buying a brand new truck I'd go for 2wd with the locker cause I'm cheap.. but my old truck was cheaper than a junk yard axle so I didn't complain that it was open dif and I just get aggressive tires and it does well enough.
One thing on chains, if they break loose your bed will pay! If it's a newer truck it might even be worth paying a shop around $1500 to add a locker if it turns out to be open... but then again, you have to weigh against the cost of 4x4.. .from the factory the locker is only a few hundred bucks.
