Line -X or Rhino bed liner?

I would never go with a Rhino Liner. Father in law had it, looked terrible. Chaulked badly and chipping apart everywhere.
I had a duraliner. It's a rubber bed mat with hard plastic sides. CRAP. Wouldn't fit right and scratched the paint.
I've had 2 Bedrugs and love them. Easy on the knees, stands up to anything, and cushion the bed from dents. Only down fall is wood chips get caught in the nap but a broom fixes that.
If I didn't have a bedrug choice, I would go with Line X but the application dealer has a lot to do with it's quality.
Some dealers don't remove the bed bolts and have runs which looks like crap. This is the quality of our local LineX dealer. If that can't do that right, image how bad the prep went to your bed which could cause corrosion or rust, depending what metal it's made of. Also what type of thickness are you getting or it's uniformity. Also the warranty is usually through the dealer and when they go out of business, your warranty is over.
Bedrug is the best IMO, no prep, metal worries, looks great, and comes out easier than it went in.
If you can find a good dealer, I vote LineX but prefer Bedrug.

Does the gaps and seams in the bed get sealed by the Line-X or Rhino liners? I just bought a '15 and was surprised at the gaps at the edges of the bed, expecially at the front where it connects to cab protector, the gap in the corner is about 1/8" and I can see daylight looking down through.

Line-x is a complete spray and there shouldn't be any gaps, holes, or seams.

I had Line-X done on mine. It's the first spray on liner I've had, but went with it due to the number of positive responses that I read.
I can't comment on the product since I have not really abused it yet, but I would give my installer a B- grade. He did a good job in the important areas where it is most visible, and masked my bed lights and switch quite well, but looking down between the bed and the tailgate, there is a fair bit of overspray, and I did have to pick out some overspray in the holes for the bed extender (which I told him about ahead of time).
I had the Line-X Pro done on my short bed for $525.

I have used all of these:
Rhino his a softer rubber feel, better for dogs, X-Line is stronger and things slide into the bed easier. Premium X-Line keeps it black shiny color -- after years still looking good.

If I keep a Tonneau over my bed at all times, is premium really necessary/worth the extra cost? I have a lot of experience with Line-X in work trucks and my dad's past few trucks and haven't really noticed any fading (I was young at the time so not 100% sure)

I was told by the Line-X installer that the premium with the UV protection isn't necessary if you keep a tonneau on the bed most of the time.
