We installed ACE rails (bolt-on) on my wife's new Willy's. I left the stock Rubi rail on in conjunction with them.
I have the ACE on my JKUR and the do flex a fair amount... You can see how much in the second picture. I came down pretty hard on a rock to do that though. I'm going to be pulling off the ACE and installing a set of probably EVO custom angle weld-on's. However I take my jeep down some rough trails so I need the added strength. If you don't plan on doing those kinds of trails you should be fine with the bolt-on style.

Poison Spider Brawlers. I like 'em a lot! Three years and no problems or regrets with attaching the upper panels to the body. I did use the available rubber gasket, and I used self-etching paint on the holes.

Mine are ACE I love em and don't think you can get much better for the $$, I can understand that these may flex when reefed on hard enough but that goes back to that general mantra of building your Jeep to do what your using it for as well as if you hit anything hard enough the force is going to go somewhere.
Takeaways: After the first year I noticed some failure on the finish, I also added 3M tread grip because they can be slippery in inclement conditions when stepped on. They'll need to be refinished sooner than later, thinking LINE-X.

Watch this video and it is easy to see why you should NOT use Body mount sliders and ACE. Watch how much they flex.
