are they better or worse than the sprayed in Rino Liner type coatings?


Significantly better as they are not bonded to the steel. They can
move a bit by themselves to absorb shock - and with ridges are almost
an inch thick

They move enough to wear the paint off the bed, and they trap water
underneath. But they will hide the resulting rust nicely.

And leaves. Dirt and leaves. Mice get under it too.

Mine once moved enough by itself that I needed to pull over onto the
shoulder and then backup to retrieve it from its resting place alongside
the freeway.

You should have used 3/16 steel plate instead. It hardly weighs anything but it won't float out of
the box. Or hold down the ABS liner with scrap iron or dogs.

Original owner installed a cheap one to hide that big dent on the
tailgate. ALL*STAR, has camlocks that (hardly) engage under the edge of
the rails. Could easily have caused a fatality if a small car or
motorcycle drove into it. Now a rope runs around the inside perimeter
through 4 tiedown loops.
