I have a Cayman S and plan to do the mod. I am also needing to find a shop worthy of the job. I live in Destin, FL.

I have been researching the same issue for my 2001 Boxster S.
IMHO an LSD is well worth while for track work. Most race cars, including GT3's have them. For street use , I'm not sure there a great deal of benefit
I think you need to adjust your driving style as there is a bit of understeer on corner entry but a well set up LSD will reduce your lap times substantially.
The September issue of Excellence has a write up on a Farbacher Lolas 3.8 Cayman which has been fitted with an LSD built by a company called Stasis. Interestingly the split ratios have been reversed from those on a GT3. Instead of 40/60, it is 60/40 due the different handling nature of a mid engined car vs rear.
For myself, I think I've decided to go with a Guard Chromoly diff. These are used in many race cars and seem to be indestructible. Dont know if he does one for a Cayman but Paul Guard is pretty helpful and has a couple of good articles on the LSD's on his site
