Default Swingarm skid plates

I am going to be buying a swingarm skidplate for my warrior and can't decide between these two;

Dura Blue Hammer Force Swingarm Guard

^^^ Its made out of urethane and supposedly does not bend or break on any impact. My only concern about it is the right side (as shown in pic) looks a bit short and I'm afraid it won't do as good of a job at covering the sprocket.

Or

UM Performance Swingarm Skid Plate

^^^ Its a basic aluminum skid, and I am fine with it also, but the only draw back is it will dent.

Which do you think I should get?

PRM all the way. Super beefy stuff, and very reasonably priced...

If you are riding in rocky terrain or terrain that you think you might occasionally hit something big, any swingarm skid plate that is .250 thick is required. I have tried less, .190 thick and it is substantially weaker.
