I'm getting a BedRug and a canopy 'cause I like them and figure I'll get next to nothing back dollar-wise when I sell this truck, but they may help me sell it.

I had the Line-X spray on applied to the STX the same week I bought it. It looks great and will provide enough protection for me. I don't know if they all do it, but this shop took the bed bolts and tie down brackets out before applying the coating instead of spraying over them.

I agree about the plastic bedliners protecting your bed more.
I had a Huge CAT front end loader with a bucket the size of my truck and it picked up a load of slag from the steel mill I work at. he droped it into my bed from above my roof and besides a few scratches on the tailgate since it curves in at the top the bed didn't dent at all.
