Wrangler for the shooter. Better build quality. Big aftermarket for grips, springs, parts interchangeable.

Rough Rider steel for the appearance. Blued, case colored, just hold your thumb over the hammer block lever.

Rough Rider has a 9shot option, might interest some as well as a 22/22mag cylinder option. The trigger squeeze feels better too.
I'm still thinking Wrangler for myself personally though because the extra safety annoys me. And I believe long term the Wrangler finish will hold up better. We will see I guess. Both are good $$ values in my book.

I have one of each and to be honest I like them both. The Rough Rider seems to be a little more accurate at 25yds but it's barrel is almost 2" longer. Triggers are about the same. I think the Rough Rider would chip if knocked against something, but then the Ruger would scratch.
For me I guess it comes down to which barrel length and finish do you want.
