clutchtype have preload, torsen type don't
torsen is more progressive and smooth, and should wear less, making it more consistent... the only downside is that if one wheel actually lifts off the ground, you may loose some drive.
cos of the way it works, but wheels need some resistance for the torsen to work, and push power to the wheel that is not slipping, but no resistance means no transfer.
the other big benefit is that when you are not accelerating, the diff is almost like a fully open diff, so no wheel hopping you get with a tight cluthc pack LSD...
just google for torsen diff and you will find heaps of info.
