pros of pro : it will last the life of the truck..... Cons of pro: nothing
Pros of self: it will look good when your done.... Cons of self: it wont last, and you will end up kicking yourself in the butt for not going the pro route..
Experience: ive done the Self install... and i'm embarrassed of the product after a year

We have gone from plastic to line-x spray in liners where I work and it still looks good after 4 years of moderate abuse. My sister swears by rhino liner which has been on her truck for 9 years. Most of the pro installations seem to hold up well. If your going to DIY pay careful attention to surface prep.

I used Herculiner DIY roll on liner. Dollar for dollar, a good bargain! Pro spray in liners generaly start around $300 and up around here. The entire Herculiner kit on sale and with a rebate... less than $80! Installed in less than a day and still looks new a year later.
Good Luck!

If you use you truck as a truck, spend the money and have it done! The Herculiner, dupont,plasticote all will work for a grocery getter, but once you actually USE your truck, say good buy to the do it your self liner.(good prep or not)

spray on bedliner
I have qwikliner in three truck beds and feel that it is a better product than others. It seems to be tougher. However, the key to getting a good spray-on bedliner is the installer. If they cut corners, or don't know what they are doing, you can get a lousy job from either brand. Look at some trucks the installer has done before you let him do one for you. Look for clean edges, a good thick even coating, even texture, and make sure they take out any and all bolts, nuts or other removable parts before they spray the Qwikliner on.
