I would say first decide if you want max clearance or retain a well functioning step. That will narrow down the field one way or the other.
I wanted to retain a step and chose the Slee sliders, I'm happy with them!

After looking at various brands, I decided to go with RCI Off-road rock sliders with 5 degree slope. I'm not planning on doing serious rock crawling. It will be mostly easy to moderate over-landing. Appreciate the input.

I have the white knuckle sliders on the way and will be installing soon and selling the predator steps. I am going to paint with primer then Raptor liner to hopefully get the same textured look as the predator steps (my wife said she doesn't want them shiny- it is her vehicle).
Another option (which I don’t recommend) are the sliders designed by CA Tuned Off-road. On paper they looked perfect to me - true rock sliders that mount to the frame and can support the full weight of the truck (unlike some other aluminum options like Greenlane), tight fit to the body without any gaps (keeps them low profile), and still serve as a fully-functioning step.
However, I can’t recommend them due to poor manufacturing (bolt holes misaligned and bend angles don’t match vehicle angles), poor shipping (they ship them wrapped up in a moving blanket that’s then wrapped in plastic - I received them with chips knocked out of the powder coating), and poor customer service. Disappointing, as they are the best design I’ve seen available so far.

I have the White Knuckle Sliders on my 40 and they see a lot of rocks. They do their job beautifully. This photo is pre-install, but gives you a sense of some of the terrain we tackle. I would like to get some sliders on my 1958, but I am much more concerned about the weight in this case as it is my daily. Looking for something that can take a medium hit and not bend into the vehicle, but will not be rock crawling.
