There are a few pros and cons with each.

Assuming you are putting this in a celica...

If you are looking at an engine conversion with some power behind it you should really ditch the T series all together, especially if you are putting an LSD in there. The axels aren't all that big at all.

An F series is a decent choice. It'll provide decent strength, but you'll probably need to get it shortened or find some wheels with a different offset as none of the ones I have come across are a similar size to a celica T series. That or flare out your car or any other mod that will accept a wider diff.

A G series is stronger again, though it will also add more unsprung weight to your car. As it has been said lots of LSD ratios available, and some of the hilux housings are almost exact length of the celica. You will need to do something about your wheel studs either on the front or the back as the hilux G series are a 5 stud.

Between the F and G series there is still a bit of mucking around to get them to fit. If you are just after a daily driver with a bit of power to boot the G series would be good. You don't really need to do much other than weld on the old mountings and fix up the stud problem.

If you want something to be a bit more serious in the handling department then the F series would be a good bet. Less unsprung weight is always a good thing, though I'd imagine you will have to spend a bit more getting it shortened etc...
