Default Amsoil or Royal Purple

Thinking of getting the front and rear gear lube changed out on my '08 Dakota 4x4 with either Royal Purple or Amsoil. Anyone here have opinions on which one? Any input would be great. Thanks guys.

I run Amsoil myself, nothing bad to say about it. I had my engine oil (also Amsoil) tested at one point after a rollover and 8k+ on the oil and they told me to run it longer.

This can probably be debated endlessly....

Higher price doesn't always mean better product - even though it can.
My pref is Ams... if it's good enough for Bobby Unser, then it's good enough for me.

The specs on Redline look pretty decent too, but when it comes down to comparing great vs. great the $$ signs start to talk to me.
