I don’t think there is such a thing as a good brand for a drop in, look into rhino lining or line-x. Water can get under a drop in causing rust under the liner that you won’t see. And they tend to warp a little. I have had a rhino lining in my truck for 18 years and it’s still holding up great

When I was a kid we had a dually with a drop in liner. We pulled it out to clean underneath and there was some rust and lots of paint rubbed away. This was on a California truck too. I'd get a spray in liner. I have Rhino lining in my truck with some carpet for the dogs when they ride back there.

You will get what you pay for. Line-x I believe can put in a uv protection in so it won’t look chalky a few years down the road. You can get it in a harder or softer coat if you ask. Softer will have less sliding around of anything in the back but can wear a little over the years. Harder will definitely be more durable but stuff slides around a lot more. Mine is on the softer side and I would do that again. I have had the other setups but like this the most
