Reading from your posts about your driving I think you need as many aids as possible. Perhaps stabilisers too, for especially tight corners.
ESP is just a posh name for TC. It's the same damn thing.
Also, don't call me wrong on the internet. It hurts my fingertips.
Now.
ESP is a safety device. In no way is traction control 'sporty', ever.
Whereas an LSD aids in that it can distribute more power better whilst cornering.
LSD = Good, allows you to get on the power quicker through corners. Pretty much pointless most of the time on the road, though.
ESP = Bad. It's basically a Nanny to look after you when you're enthusiastic attempts at driving upset the car sufficiently for the system to think you have no idea what you're doing, so it intervenes.
It's not a difficult concept, but it does sound like you need a nanny rather than a limited slip differential.
HTH
