All 3 major options are pretty darn good. The Prospeed are arguably the strongest and with the best finish, but the looks are not to everyones taste. They also come with the extended door seals too.
Mine appear to be Britpart but finished by Prospeed, but may have come from the other place (not allowed to mention them).
Out of the top 3 pick the one that suits as they are all good.

I have the Britpart version. Depends on what you want and what you want to spend. The Britpart ones are not that expensive, but do not protect directly behind the front wheel.
I think the more expensive Prospeed does.2017-...: Disco II Td5 auto, 1999, BAS remap, HD TC and auto box Ashcroft, Allisport IC, ACE, 2" lift only coils, BF goodrich KM2 265/70R17, FF front and rear bumper, TF steering guard and tree sliders, nanocom.

No suggestion of bad products in this case however there is a difficult history with the manufacturers and the site admin which we are not going to discuss here 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Robbie, are those 'rock' or 'rock & tree' Prospeed ones?
I must say the finish looks fantastic!It's better to burn out, than fade away...

My bars were secondhand and were refurbished by the previous owner at Prospeed. I have no reason to think they are actually Prospeed bars and are made either by 'x' or Britpart.
The finish is amazing and unbelievably robust which probably says more about Prospeed than the original manufacturer.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948
