I know there is a ton of debate between the two. Durability is not the main issue. Don't plan on beating on the bed.More concerned about crap sliding around. Which one seems to be less slippery in your experiences. Thanks.

On my third line-x vehicle.
Love it.
Stuff will still slide a bit, that's not the point of a spray-on liner.

Even with a bed liner I highly suggest a bed mat also. You can get them at many auto parts stores and will stop the slipping somewhat but its best feature is to keep the bed from denting when you though heavy stuff into it. A spray in bed liner is only good to prevent rust in my opinion but I would not do without one.

No idea if it’s still the same but the Rhino liner had more of a rubber feel to it and was much more of a non skid material.

Stuff will still slide a bit, that's not the point of a spray-on liner. Ditto - also on my third Line-X. Started using it in 2005. Has even improved over the years with more color and thickness options. Free lifetime (original owner) repairs if you damage it. And like he said - anti-skid is not the point or purpose. Get a rubber floor mat and load bars/net/bungee cords for that.

I realize things will still slide a bit. Just would like to lessen it. Sounds like there is not going to be much difference. Line X seems to be the front runner in my research.

I have my first spray in liner ever. It’s factory, which I believe is similar to line x. It does lessen things sliding around quite a bit as compared to bare metal. A rubber bed mat I had in a previous truck really kept things from sliding, but it also made it difficult to load or unload anything that slides. I think going from bare metal to a line x type liner will reduce sliding quite a bit.

Some may be less slick when new but they all will get hard and slick with age.

A mat is the best thing for non-slipping. Occasionally take it out and clean out under it. A rock under a mat can scratch through a bed liner after a while.

I’ve had them all, for a long time, one of my trucks has a Bullet liner, it is much rougher than the rest, but it doesn’t matter because you really need a rubber Matt down on top of liner, besides did you ever put your knees on top of just the liner, doesn’t feel good to old knees.
