I don't think you really missed anything there unless the older ranger stuff works better then the new stuff.

Rubber, EPDM - 10-20 year warranty through through manufacturer (if you can get it warranted)
Fiberglass - warranty through the manufacturer, DRV, so limited to the 1 year.

Durability - I went with the fiberglass, I'm sure it will out perform rubber/EPDM during my ownership.

I was ready to cut the 'wings' off my side plates too. But when I lowered my pin box for truck clearance, I found those side plates are just big flat washers, and the holes didn't line up with the new pin box position. So for now the plates are sitting in my garage. BTW, when I lowered the pinbox most of the lock washers failed. So I ordered quality, all Grade 8 bolts, nuts flat and lock washers to replace the factory hardware.
