I've been researching this subject for a couple days and found my question, but not the answer. I had to wade through a lot of Pipe vs Tube, Hrew vs DOM, and internal vs exo and it made my head hurt.

I'd like to find the pros and cons (if any) between these two designs: A front hoop with spreaders to the rear hoop or 2 down bars with dash and winshield spreaders, that come back to the center hoop?
Here is a (close enough) picture of the latter, I found in another cage thread.

This will be in a pickup cab. It will be used for tuff truck racing and after the SAS, trails (mud, rocks, roots, snow, inclines and decents).
Thanks,
Shaggy
