Default Nerf Bars

I'm looking for some feedback on nerf bar/steps for a 2011 Ram 1500 Big Horn. Any feedback, good or bad, on what brand you used would be helpful. I would like to add some, but am concerned about how they will look in a couple of years (rust, peeling ect). Thanks in advance. Also, this is my first post here, so if I'm doing it wrong, bear with me. I'll get the hang of it!

I have the mopar chrome and they are pitted after one winter. If you live in the north or have a lot of salt, I would stay away from them.

I have the raptor 5" ovals. I do like them, but they are starting to get little rust pits on them after2 years. They still clean up nice,and you can clean up the rust pits.

I have the black N-Fab's that look like Roberttheall's and I love them. Also going with a specific look for my truck, so it worked out well. Havent had any issues with mine.

N-Fab/Smitty are the same bars. They are good. Those are the ones I'm putting on my truck. They look like the Rhino Dominators, but they're cheaper.

Dee-Zee Polished SS. No rust after 2 years. They also bolt into your body mounts.

I have a set of Westin oval platinum 4 in nerf bars in black and they look great took about 2 hours for me and a buddy to install.
