I personally hate cut fenders(they look cheap) i like the Poison spyder,,, and I like the weight savings of the aluminum option. Other than that, I think metal cloak and the bush wacker are pretty nice.

Ditto, on the looking cheap. MCE gets my business if and when...!

Default fender and/or flare options

I'm not a huge fan of the cut fenders either. PSC's are nice but they ain't cheap - and I'd be a it concerned that clipping something with metal bumpers would only transfer the damage to the body. I don't like the look of the Xenon flares and that leaves Bushwackers as the default. I'd forgotten about MCE and your comment made me look at them again. Apparently they are making flatty flares for the JK - I was hoping they'd be less expensive - but they appear to be priced similarly to the Bushwackers. It would appear I have yet another difficult decision to make: Bushwackers or MCE

Rugged ridge just came out with new fenders that are pretty slick. They are called hurricane fenders. Think its 500 for all 4. http://www.ruggedridge.com/catalog/p...p-wrangler-jk/

I'm not saying I found the lowest prices to be had, but this is what a quick search resulted in (today):
Bushwackers: $619 (less $50 rebate = $569)
MCE: $610
RR: $623.99 (MSRP from their site)
