The manual hubs are definitely better than the auto ones. The biggest trouble spot that I know of is the dual fuel tanks. Make sure that it runs well from both tanks. It's also not uncommon to have one tank return into the other but I'm not sure how you'd check that on just a test drive as it takes a while to notice.
fordfuelinjection.com will show you how to run self-tests on the OBD1 system with or without a reader. I'd definitely do that on any Ford I was checking.
