I agree the ProTek system is pretty badass, and I considered it too once upon a time. However, one should consider, especially the overland inclined, that it poses an increased fire hazard when traveling in areas with brush. This is something to be mindful of anyway when traveling in areas with high grass, etc, as you can start a fire. The added issue with this pan is there is now an area for grass to get caught next to the exhaust system, thereby starting a fire under the jeep, one that you will have a tough time putting out, assuming you catch it in time. That said, the oil pan portion would be completely safe and a worthwhile consideration.
