Do you think it would be more efficient with DTC active (i.e.limited slip allowed), or in no slip at all conditions?

It depends on the driving conditions. If you are driving on solid ground, like tarmac or ice, no slip (DSC) is usually the most efficient way to get the power down. On loose surfaces like snow or gravel, the tyres will get more grip by digging into the road by some wheelspin (DTC).
If you want to drive fast at the limit, the car will eventually hold you back quite a bit by braking too much in both DSC and DTC modes. For sensible driving in public traffic, both DSC and DTC are working well.
I think you notice the benefits of the LSD more in DTC than DSC, since you can push closer to the limit in that mode.
