Default Trail Armor

Having spent last weekend at Rausche Creek and seeing all the potentialy sharp rocks out there, I feel the need to put some armor underneath my Jeep. My head is spinning after looking at all the different products on the market. My question is simple.
What would you armor or protect and why?
Whose product would you use and why?
I don't need everything because I have a 2008 Rubicon Unlimited. Any and all input is welcome. Thanks

First thing I'd protect is the engine, then the evap. canister. I used Rock Hard products on my engine, tranny and transfer case becuase I thought they were the best bang for the buck. I put a Poison Spyder evap canister skid on for the same reason. I've got a RR steering sway bar disco. skid and the SkidRow Offroad front skid. I have a Rubi too, and just wanted to protect what I have. Skids are expensive, but not compared to the cost of what they protect.

Next comes the diff. skids.

Evap relo or skid, oil pan skid and diff covers are the only real armor you "need" underneath. The factory skids will serve you just fine for everything else. The aftermarket skids are great but not necessary at all. I think WOL rolled with stock skids for years and I think he will agree that the factory stuff does great. Which is a surprise considering they were designed and built from the factory. lol
