Depends on the terrain, but in BC they're all pretty important. Approach gets your front tires onto something, break over gets your belly over it, and departure gets your rear tires away from it. If any of them is poor you're going to get hung up on things that other people don't. A 2 door Wrangler, a 4 door Wrangler, and a Gladiator are the same vehicle up front but have very different capabilities offroad. The 2 door will out wheel a 4 door because of the shorter wheelbase giving the 2 door a better break over angle (25* vs 20*). Both will out do a Gladiator because its long bed hurts departure angle (26* vs 36*).

Without doing a ton of research those numbers look okay for modern vehicles but IFS will hurt them just like the Bronco. With that I'd rather have a front locker than a rear one since you're going to lift a front tire more easily, and when you do you're functionally just RWD.

All of those except the 2 door Wrangler will end up left behind by someone in a clapped out XJ Cherokee with a junkyard lift and some used tires. Those are 38*/22*/32*, 8.3" stock.
