the cheapest solution for your power level only being in the 400s that should NOT break again is a puddymod built differential.
Anything else will be more expensive (besides simply replacing your diff with an oem one) and the 8.8's and stuff like that i think are a little overkill for the power you're running.
puddymod should be your answer

Stock ap2 diff W/reinforced carrier bearing end caps. Cheapest solution and stronger then stock, being that it the weak link of the stock diff. Stock end caps flex under load, and overtime throw the ring/pinion out of alignment and one day crunchy time happens. How much trq you have and how hard you put it to the diff will dictate how long before this happens.
If you don't do anything, at least get an ap2 diff to replace since it has thicker end caps over the ap1.

If not, get the Puddymod stage 2 diff or Ford 8.8
