I don't have to worry about the sides of my bed too much and I don't carry that much crap in my truck until I start to remodel the house.  I do however carry stuff that would scratch up/slide around on the bottom.  I have had 2 of the flat rubber mat (J-Mark) types in my last two trucks and they worked great for me.  Stuff doesn't slide around, you can pull em in and out to wash 'em and you can pull them to let the bed dry if you need to.  Doesn't protect the sides but I think I paid like 80 bucks compared to 700 for the spray ins.  I also got the tailgate mat and the tailgate protector strip too.

I have an ARE Cap that I love except for the one leak by the hinge... but its also 6 years old.  My buddy bought a Leer for his.  I'd stay away from tonneau covers as well.  My truck had one when I bought it and I hated it for the entire time I had it.  Finally got the ARE 3 months later and got rid of the tonneau.  You seriously can't carry anything with a tonneau unless it your able to lay it flat in the bed.

You couldn't pay me to put in a shell type plastic liner, reasons listed above. The best, and consequently most expensive liners are the spray in. I know two people with spray ins, 1 Fabick and 1 Line-X, and both swear by their brand.
