What kind of diff is in the base H3s in 2009 /10? Limited slip? Positraction? Open diff w/ electronic control via brakes? Front diff?

Traction control is marketing term that explains nothing. Not a peep about the base diffs in the Hummer literature I've seen.

Open diffs in all non-Adventure/non-Offroad H3s. All had electronic stability control and electronic traction control. Alphas all had 4.10 gears in their diffs; I5s had 4.56 gears.

It wouldn't necessarily be easier. Its the same process it's just the CI can have a locker with an added piece of mind from the added strength

I know this is tangential at best but I alway thought the traction control system in the H3 was really surprisingly good

Its not suggested to install a locker in an aluminum diff. The aluminum diff is already weak, and adding a locker to it will only make things worse. So easier in the sense you wouldn't have to swap to a CI.

I agree...most rigs will just spin once a tire is in the air but the H3 TC system really helps transfer the power.
