In '97 when I had my p/u I researched Rhino and Line-X. Since both were repairable if torn and price was comparable, I went with Line-X when I was told that Line-X could be sprayed vertically to coat under the rails of the box and Rhino couldn't be sprayed vertically. Whether true or not, at the time it was the difference for me. It may no longer be true.
My only recommendation for those adding a spray-on bed liner is if the bed tie-down loops are bolted to the inside corners of the box, don't let the vendor removed them and then reinstall them. Have the vendor mask-off the loop part of each tie-down, spray the liner over the tie-down's mounting bolts and then remove the tape afterwards. If the vendor doesn't seal the mounting bolts then they will starting rusting from inside the bed as well.
A good vendor will also ask you if you want the bed bolts sprayed over with the bed liner or left exposed.
