Skids
Rugged Ridge sway bar disconnect skid was my first priority on my '10 Rubicon. Evaporative canister relocation vs. skid shall be my next project, then oil pan skid.

I voted Engine/Transmission skid first. I think the engine and oil pan area is crucial to protect overall. I like the Rock Hard 4x4 unit and the Skid Row is probably the most economical, at around 300 I think. 
. . .
that evap canister can just be relocated, screw paying a bill for a skid when moving it costs a few dollars.

Don't know why the evap skid is on the top of the list? I would prioritize that as #3 or 4. You can get home if you knock off the evap but punch a hole in your oil pan and you won't get too far.

Going to do a evap skid, probably a rancho oil pan skid, but my factory gas tank skid looks like its been in a major crash. Has anybody had problems with this being as how the gas tank is plastic. I'm slightly worried about it, rubbing a hole in tank maybe?

I have tested an abused all of my stock skid plates. They work great. The only failure in their system is the evap canister is still exposed. So my first added skid plate was my evap skid. It has worked great. Last week it got quite a work out when, I suspect, I was being winched and it got damaged, but the evap canister is 100% ok. Without that skid I would have been over 100 miles from home with a big problem.
