I have the Riddler and they are strong. I cant speak towards the Ruff-Stuff but the Riddler ones have taken a beating and kept going. They are very heavy and they take more fluid but I have no complaints!

That was crazy. Obviously a great product right there.

I just got a Ruffstuff Chrysler 8.25 cover a week ago and actually just threw on a coat of primer on it a few minutes ago. I'll tell you, this thing is heavy and beeeeefyyyy.

I'd say they are both great options

Either will be stronger than you will ever need. I used to run Solid covers because of the price (about $65 direct from them) I now run ruffstuff on the new rig and love them.
