The full width ones that are solid are not good. Many are so close to the ground that when the Moho suspension goes up and down over bumps, they will drag the ground and add to the road debris being thrown back at the toad. The brush types seem to work better. Flaps mounted , just behind the individual rear duals also seem to work well. Many that use the curtains that are horizontal and fill the space between the Moho and the toad probably gets the best reviews from those using that type.
Some like the verticle shields mounted just in front of the toad, many I have seen are made of a clear poly plastic. Be careful of putting a bra on the toad as dust will get under it and act like sandpaper to the toad's paint.
A few have reported good success taping bubble wrap over the windshield to protect the glass, the same with headlight covers. The covers on some toads are plastic to start with so probably nothing needed. I have busted a couple of headlights over the years, but this was back before the Alaska Hwy was paved.
If I was towing my Jeep, which I don't take a toad with our truck camper, I would probably look into getting one of the horizontal curtains and keek as much debris as possible going under my toad. Of course, it isn't just junk kicked up by your vehicle that can cause damage, but traffic you are meeting that is going way to fast for road conditions. About all you can do then is to stay as far right as you can and slow down or even stop if you have time and can safely do so.
