Default Riddler vs Rugged Ridge Diff covers??

Ok guys, I am planning to get some diff covers for my 08 unlimited and was wondering which you guys would recomend. The 2 I'm looking at are the Riddlers or the Rugged Ridge ones. They're pretty close in price, so that isn't an issue. Here are some links if you guys are interested.

Also, has anyone else installed either of these? Any problems?? Things you love, hate...

You might want to get rid of the link, but I would go with the Riddlers.

They look really sick, have a completely snag proof design, can be painted ANY color or finish, and are one of the most economically priced. The Rugged Ridge just look too much like stock for my taste

I have Riddlers and love them. I believe they are bomb proof.

Personally I have the Poison Spyder diff covers, which in their design are basically the same as the Riddlers. I like the lipless design of them - how it recesses the bolt heads in the cover, and according to the manufacturer, the profile "acts as a ramp to help slide your Jeep up and over the most troublesome pumpkin-eaters." Just a lot of things that helped me make my decision.

So, between the two, I'd go with the Riddlers. Just my

Riddlers are nice. They do arrive unpainted, but a quick rattle can with primer and your choice of color takes care of that (on the exterior surface only, of course).
