welded diffs dont hold together very well

get a mini spool

If you go ahead with welding (i.e, not getting a spool) PM: NUT347, ziracon or impraven, as they have all done it.

Drain the diff, undo the watts linkage at one end, take the rear cover off, empty a can or three of brake cleaner into the centre, fill spider gears with weld, laugh at brake cleaner/diff oil catching fire, put everything back together and fill diff. Do skids. Easy.

Done properly you'll bust axles just as you will in a spool and they'll probably be harder to change if you've managed to weld them to the gears. Done shithouse you'll probably just bust the welds. It was a bit tricky getting the MIG into the centre, might be easier with an arc welder.

I think you can get mini-spools for like $80 off ebay dude - they would be your strongest and easiest bet.
