Good quarter mile car, good circuit car, and good daily driver car all at the same time - that's not a tall order, that's plain old impossible. Suspension setup is always a compromise - you can tip the scales in one direction or the other, but you can't have everything! I think you'd better be a little more realistic with your goals before we can offer you any real advice.
As for the diff, if you have that sort of power you're going to need something fairly strong if you want it to last. If it's a JDM GT it may already have a 7.5" F series diff, but if it's a lame US-spec pretend-GT it will be a 6.7" T series diff. The F diff is strong enough, the T diff will snap like a twig. So if you have a T diff (check your build plate) it's time for a diff conversion - then you can think about LSD centres.
If you have an F diff the LSD bit is easy - just buy a TrueTrac centre (helical gear type LSD) and it will slot right in. I have one of these in my 84 Supra and it's highly recommended. I will also be putting one in my 77 RA23 Celica after I've done the diff conversion (MX23 axle).
