Start out with the t-case and fuel tank skids, those would be the most vulnerable.

Pretty much all types but very little
Rock crawling (really no rocks around were i live) but i guess mostly trail riding in the mtn's and some mudding.

I agree Tcase, gas tank. The NP231 kinda gets a bad rap from people, but I think a lot of it has to do with said people dragging it over rocks unprotected.
