The EVO one is badass and probably my favorite, the only downside is you have to buy the rear fenders to go with it.

The Evo system is very heavy duty. I also like that they delete the rear bumper. The down side of their system is that it is also heavy. I went with the Genright steel rear bumper and the aluminum tire carrier in order to save weight in the tail. I can't remember the exact weight, but it's something like 25lbs. I've had it on for about 2 years and it's been great. The big advantage of the Genright system is weight. The down side is that it's moderately difficult to install and that I've had to adjust the tailgate hinges twice in the 2 years that it's been installed. Genright sells tube mounts for the high-lift, but I just mount my jack inside.

If I had to do it again, I'd use Evo's bumper delete kit and Genrights aluminum tire carrier.

The genright is also significantly cheaper the the EVO. Although the EVO is, IMO, the most BA tire carrier on the market.

The evo requires rear crush corners to run there carrier since it mounts to it.
Honestly if it were me I'd really like to see them both in person if possible.
