The Ox Lockers are either Cable, Electric or Air Actuated, you have to add kits to get for the last two but if you consider some company's actual charge for the cable because there are different lengths you could buy the kits for 3x the price of the long cables and you have no more cable problems.
All of the OX Acuators are mounter outside of the unit, the only sealing needed is the Diff Lube.
I ran a cable, I was told it might have problems in colder weather, I didn't have problems but everyone is different, I used a Chrysler Product that sprays on and then turns to a sticky foam inside the cable. I pulled the cable to one end, sprayed in as much as I could with that little straw, pulled the cable the other way, repeat a few times and I guess I got enough in, no problems, the locker slid in every time.
One thing I liked about the Ox, and I don't know if there is an option on the ARB, there is a device where if the cable or the electrics go bad, and you lose your locker, you can take out the cable or solenoid and actuate the locker and then the device secures in place and you are locked until you take it off. A trail fix that works !
I was thinking of trying the Electric route but didn't, not too sure, I have cables but maybe I can sell them, I didn't want the Air Actuated because I don't have a compressor.
The two problems I read about on the OX are the Cable Lubication in the cold and wear and I don't know if anything has been done for them.
