So I've read around the internet and here about how to break gears in (drive 20 minutes let cool...etc.), but my question is about what type of oil to use... if it matters at all. I know that with engines its best to use dino-oil for the first 3,000 or so, is there anything similar with gears or can I go ahead and slap some synthetic in there?
Also, I've got a couple of hunderd (about 300) on the front and about 150 on rear now doing the drive 20-30 and letting it cool till I drive again. I don't have to do that all the way to 500 do I? I need to take a road trip tonight and will be driving about 2 hours on the freeway and I am curious if you guys recommend me letting the diff cool throughout the trip or if it's ready to go the whole distance.

The front seems great when I put it in... possibly quieter and smoother than the stock setup. The rear isn't making any noise (nothing I can't hear over my BFG A/Ts that is... meaning, it isn't making much if any), but I can feel more subtle vibrations than before... I'm assuming that's normal and it might get better with more miles?
