They have a good reputation, but are certainly pricey.
I use ARB, which is a tad cheaper and is a traditional style kinetic strap.

I have the ARB too, but only because I discovered the bubba rope after I bought the strap and it was too late to return it.
While the bubba rope seems to be awesome, I'm sure the ARB is good enough. It looks like it is also more compact. I keep mine in the third row footwell.
I also have 2 gator shackles from Bubba in one of the back bins.

How do you like the shackles? Worth the money? I hear they are better/safer than the steel ones

I really like the shackles. I used them to turn around a broken-down F150 on a small trail. Worked well for tight turns.
They are more expensive... but they are rated to take a lot more weight, quicker to deploy, a couple pounds lighter and WAY safer.
For the piece of mind of not having a potential metal missile, I think they are well worth the premium.

I have been using the ARB kinetic straps for years. They are excellent and a good mid priced option. I have never broken one, only retired them due to visible wear and tear, not worth being stuck on a trail because of a broken strap.
