I, myself will be looking into getting a Rock Krawler lift. Their lift kit components are designed to be upgradeable. So if I decide to go for a taller lift I don't have to spend too much on parts because some of the 2.5" parts are useable...

I have the RK stock mod w Bilsteins and got their front LCA's to dial in my castor. Couldn't be happier. The front RK springs are progressive rate and didn't get any sag after adding a front bumper and winch. Rig sets nice and level. Got closer to 3in of lift over stock. I don't think you could go wrong with either lift. Just sharing my setup.

Can't go wrong with either. Personal preference, AEV.

I would get the one that gives me more wheel drop or allows for most extreme Flex.

Also, which one gives you closest to 2.5in lift? This is why I havent purchased one. I want 2in Max lift with a ton of Flex but these apparently can give you 3~3.5in lift.

If you are looking for some flex, life time abuseproof warranty, HD control arms and upgradable to any part and kit in the future, i say RK.
