Oh no, this thread again. ;) Yes, it's something of a religious war.
I have the Dodge drop-in plastic liner. Yes, it has scraped the paint
off underneath. However, it has two main advantages over the spray-in
liner, and those are 1) much cheaper, and 2) helps prevent dents in the
bed. I haul a decent amount of heavy crap like rental equipment and the
like, and my old S-10 had numerous dents in the wheelwells and rest of
the bed. The drop-in has prevented this from happening in my Dakota.
The spray-ins also have big advantages, mainly they aren't abrasive
like the drop-ins. You won't have any bed rust with a spray-in.
So the choice seems to be dents vs. rust. I chose rust, and haven't
regretted it so far. Then again, I don't live in an area where road salt
is used a lot (NC), so I highly doubt that my bed rust is going to get
really bad. I also park on a slight grade so that water can't collect in
the bed.
