Common wisdom with big power upgrades is to fit an atlas axle. But the truth is unless you're fitting enormously wide tyres and planning on rallying/drag racing or burn outs and other stuff, with your proposed LSD fitment the English axle should be fine. For peace of mind, you can get uprated half shafts for them if you're worried about it.

 

As to CWP choice, it really depends what you want to do with the car.

one of my mates runs a 400bhp through a salisbury (english) axle with uprated shafts and a diff locker with no probs
