Default rocker comparison

We have a bumper comparison thread here, how about a rocker comparison? I can't figure out what I want, there are soo many options!

If everyone will post up their rockers and state the brand/model, i'll go back and edit the first post to show the different ones. Sound good?

Also, what is the benefit to having them angled up as oppesed to level (like the teraflex ones)? Is it more protection for the lower sides of the jeep or is is mostly preference?

I am thinking about getting level ones so they can also be used as a step for my short friends, but depending on the answer to my questions that might change...

I went with the TeraFlex sliders for three reasons.

1. I needed a step for the wife and kids
2. I liked the wrap around design that protects the bottom and sides of the rockers panels and doesn't decrease gound clearence.
3. Aluminum was a plus (light weight, ~20lbs each)*

*hopefully it won't become a minus in rocks. I will definitly be testing them out this spring if not sooner.

I'm avoiding the T.F. sliders because of the fact that the are aluminum. Aluminum gouges and electrolysis.

Pure Jeep is only making them with the step as it adds strength and rigidity. Thats straight from the horses mouth.
