Default Tube Step VS Rock Slider

Just a question I was looking for peoples opinions.

I currently Own a set of Smitty Built tube steps. I can mount them and no extra cost.. I have a 4dr cherokee. It is a Daily Driver so no major off roading.. Mostly for a day of fun, With Just minor stuff.. Should I mount them of save for the sliders??

If you got them run them. If you wheel it hard they will bend up and hurt your rockers more than without them but not everybody wheels like I do.
