Default Need Rockslider Advice: LOD, Teraflex, or Hanson?

Last time out, my JKU factory sidesteps didn't make it through the trails in one piece. I knew it was a matter of time, so now it's obvious I need some real rocker protection. I'd like to be able to use the sliders as a hi lift jack point, and not have to worry about them folding under the abuse of the trail. So, I have it narrowed down to these three since I still want to have them function as a step...

I'm interested to hear how well each stands up to abuse--those of you who run these, please share your experience with them: what you like and don't like! Thank you all in advance!

I voted LoD because I'm shallow and like the way they look. Plus I've heard nothing but good about any of their products.

Thanks for the inputs everyone. I agree that LoD has the best looks. I know they are beefy enough to take the punishment, it's just too bad they are the heaviest (I think?) haha

If anyone has other inputs Im open to them as well. But, they gotta be strong enough, function as a step, be under about $600 and look GANGSTER

I say three thumbs up!
They don't work well as a step? This is relevant to my interests...mind elaborating on this? (and perhaps a suggestion on some that would work better that have a similar look?)
