Open vs. LSD for an on-road non racecar

I could go anywhere on ice in our old Honda Civic with studded tires, where I'd often see SUVs and 4WD trucks with poor tires losing it or already off the road.

I think this is the most secure combo that I've ever used. I managed to have two of my mother's cars shod this way on dedicated wheels for the winter season due to her, at the time, 20 mile commute on hilly and poorly plowed/salted roads. 4 wheel go ..doesn't mean 4 wheel stop or 4 wheel control.

I imagine, as has surely been mentioned here, that studded snows with the newer traction controls would work well ..especially in an AWD configuration.
