Default Locked or ratchet diff?

New to RC Drifting.
Everyone is saying to upgrade to a locked or ratchet differential. Which is best to use?
Correct me if I am wrong. Do nothing with the front axle. Only lock the rear. But what is the advantage to a Ratchet diff? When to use one?
Also interested in brakes. Are brakes applied though reversing polarity in the motor? Do all new Drift Transmitters and ESC's have brakes?
Thank you.
