i have a 96 gt and the rear end seal on the driver side is leaking..local shops say its around 150 or so to change and wondering if it would be better to upgrade the whole rear end instead of just fixing the seal..any suggestions and if i should upgrade what should i get..thanks

If it isn't broke..... I would just replace the seal...

just repair it, what do you mean, upgrade the entire rear end? What are your power goals? If you meant swap to something like a ford 9in, not needed, just build up the stock 8.8 with a 31 spline diff and axles, comes with new seals. You would only need to do that for drag radials or slicks, so if all you ever plan on is street tires, just repair the seal.
