both have pros and cons. powdercoating is more durable, but when it is scratched/damaged, you have to strip or sandblast and then re-powder. spray-on bedliner is less durable, but much easier to touch up. just depends on what you feel like doing.

for sliders, i'd definitely go with something easily touched up. if you're going to be off-roading a lot, i'd go with spray-on.

This ^^.

I just did the rattle can bedliner stuff and it's awesome. Scuff it up, spray it back on. No worries.

Nothing is better than LineX and if you put the UV sealant on it smooths the finish nicely so it wont hold crap like Rhinoliner or the do it yourself junk.

powedercoat is good (expensive). hard to touch up.

line x, rhino line, is ok... expensive, adds weight,

I always recomend the rustoleum bedliner in the spray can. Ive used it on a grill and my light bar and they have held up great for nearly two years now. the light bar has taken a few dings and mesquite trees too.
