I've been looking more at the Folbes due to the fact that you can remove them vs the down east's that are stuck where you bolt them.
The rail mounted DEs are not stuck where you put them. The only trick to this is not cranking them down tight so they can be rotated while fishing, and for travel/storage.
Obviously being able to rotate any rod holder also gives you advantages while fishing, and although nothing lasts forever, the fact that the DEs are metal and WILL take a lot of punishment makes them my choice... not even a close second.
You can also remove any DE holder itself pretty quickly by just removing the wing nut and bolt, if your only going to be casting for the trip or the travel cover is too tight for instance.
