Whats the difference between a full spool and a locker? Is a spool just 100% locked all the time?

A spool is always locked. A locker locks when a wheel slips. Spools are cheaper but cause increased tire wear and make your tires chirp when taking turns on pavement.-Caleb

lunchbox lockers, like an aussie or no slip, will unload around turns and ratchet so you dont chirp the tires, but when power is applied they lock. these just replace the spider gears.
a full case locker like the detroit is not always locked either(i think), however, these replace the whole carrier
selectable lockers like eaton e-lockers or ARB can be either an open diff or fully locked by the flip of a switch, hence why they are called selectable. ARB's are powered by air and e-lockers are,well, electric. these also replace the carrier and spider gears
a spool is just a thing that replaces the carrier and is a solid piece of metal pretty much. It is locked 100% of the time. looks like this

there are spools that replace the spiders as well, mini spools
detroit is not always locked like u thought
easy way to describe a selectable is a spool u can turn off and on- Will
