Diff Covers
There is a youtube video where a bunch of covers are tested including stock and the stock ones hold up pretty damn well. Sorry, cant' link here because my work blocks youtube but the test was shooting the covers with various size guns. The stock cover actually did OK considering...and none held up to the big boy guns.
In the end, it comes down to what one you like the look of more than function. The one suggestion that I agree with is the lubelocker. Most of us with leaking diffs is because the RTV seal got broken loose after being hit. The lublocker helps prevent the seal from breaking regardless of what cover you use.
As for the 2 covers mentioned, I prefer the Riddler (its what I have). I do not like the newly designed PSC one. I preferred their older design which looked almost identical to the Riddlers.

Stock diff covers are stamped steel, they are tuff when taking a hit. It's when your pumpkin is sitting on a rock when things could go wrong. The lip of the cover could peel away from the housing breaking the seal.
