When we make recommendations for axles, bearings and Diffs. we take all of the factors you listed into account.
Much like your suspension you will need to clearly outline the intended use of the car. Build the 12 bolt and enjoy the car. When things get more aggresive and the car is spending more time setting great lap times start to consider your options, floater assembly with new axles for the 12 bolt or a completely new 9" with a floater. Whatever you chose consider future proofing yourself.
