differentials

Which Differential would be good for a 2002 v6 mustang 5spd manual with 3.73 gears and 7.5" rear end.

Don't get a locker. It will make everyday driving suck. Lockers are purely for drag racing applications, and unless everywhere you go is a straight light, then don't get it.

RE: differentials

cant u get a air or electric locker that is either a open or limited slip when disengaged and locks to no slip when the electric or the air is on i know they use air lockers in trucks alot so it can drive on the street and then when you hit the trail it has no slip

Auburn I think makes an electrical one for the 8.8 rear end, but I don't know about the 7.5. Either way, those aren't worth the cash unless you're a hard core drag racer who still drives on the streets every now and then. A regular old LSD will be more than enough for him.
