Xrc out of ones mentioned. I had them on my previous jk and had no problems. None of the ones mentioned offer protection but the xrc look best to me and I would get the again but I'm going for armor this time so either metal cloak or poison spyder this round. Here's a pic of my old jk with them

I have the smitty flat fenders I like them a lot. I helped flexer07 cut the ones on his new jeep. Mine cost more but were a lot easier to install. They are a lot sturdier because they are solid metal. They function identically. I chose the smitty because of durability there definitely not going anywhere. If you cut your flairs and one ever gets messed up you have to go through the trouble of finding a replacement then cutting it again no fun. I got my set for $200 shipped on Black Friday. There are a lot of other fender options that are just as good or better but they are not in the $200 price range for sure

Do not buy them. I bought some and immediately returned them. So, where the fenders connect to the body up front, is rounded. The fenders, are flat. If you bolt them on it like bends the bolt holes out and totally ****s your shit up. And they don't hardly line up correctly. I've heard nothing by bad things about shittybilt so I wouldn't buy anything from them.
