Question Mud flaps or fender flares?

I've been noticing that I'm getting small ding in my door from rocks on the road being kick up from my tires since I went to a winder set. I not sure which way I want to go or what would look better to solve this issue. fender flares or mud flaps. Obviously mud flaps are going to be a lot cheaper but will they do the job?

I recently put Husky flaps all around my truck. Greatly reduced mud/dirty water flinging with the stock 275s.

Since mud flaps are pretty cheap, why not spend a little more and get fender flares also.

In my opinion, people who buy 'limited' or 'platinum' have fewer if any choices in fender flares. We have all seen the guy driving a platinum with a 6" lift, MT 35's and fender flares and it doesn't make any sense.

If your trim level is above a king ranch don't do flares, it's like those people have so much money they don't even know what to do with it.

In summation, I vote mud flaps

I disagree. There is nothing wrong with wanting to enjoy those creature comforts while on a trail. Do both, unlike what was said above, if you've got the money a little more added protection goes a long way.
