Radius arm vs 4 link kit?

I plan on getting a 6" lift. Radius arm lift or 4 link lift??Can someone explain the difference between the two. And is the extra $$$ worth the 4 link kit. I dont do any serious offroading but, I would want to be able to get the truck dirty if I wanted without breaking anything.Opinions, sugesstions, any info.

Thanks, DB

Radius arms change the caster angle as the suspension cycles. This change becomes must more apparent when lifting a truck.

A properly designed 4 link practically eliminates this caster change allowing a smoother suspension cycle.

At least, thats what I think???
