Hi folks, I just got the truck painted, and the bed has been blasted and now is in primer. What is the best spray on bed liner? Does it matter? I'm looking at local Rhino Liner shops, just because I don't know any better. Thanks for any advice.

You cant go wrong with line-x or rhinoliner.
Whatever is cheaper, is what i would do.

IMO go w/Line-X if it is within your budget. A buddy of mine owned a franchise and there are some differences between the two products, so depending on what your need/use of a liner is you will want to consider both. For example if you need the all out protection similar to what a plastic drop in liner provides you want the Line-X, however if you are planning to carry a lot of things and don't want them to slide around, then the Rhino lining would be a better choice.
When my buddy had the shop he removed several Rhino linings(at $80/hr) to replace them with Line-X, because the customers found that the Rhino didn't match their need. As a display he had the local Rhino shop shoot 1/2 of a tailgate and shot the other 1/2 w/Line-X. While it helped sell Line-X, it also helped the customer decide the type of liner they needed. If neither shop has a display similar, take in a piece of sheet metal, cardboard, ply-wood, etc and have each shop shoot 1/2 of it, they should do it for free, seeing at what you would be spending on the liner. This way you could run some tests on each and see for yourself which liner will work best for you.
More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.

Right now on NC4x4, a guy who runs a shop is doing another guy's Jeep as a demo and documenting it. Thus far looks pretty good: http://www.nc4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60754This is Scorpion Liner. Claim is it is thinner than Rhino so not as messy.

I had a perma-tech liner put in back in 1999. It's held up to the South Florida sun pretty well and not faded too bad at all. I have a few spots that have some wear, but for what it's been through I can't complain.
I like it and would get that kind again.

I have a Rhino-Liner. I love it. I got the lifetime thick one. Was over $500. I have it over the bed rails as well. I've had it for over 5 years and like it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
