I would definately go with the poly urethane.
It will last you much longer than ABS plastic.

I think oem is made out of poly, most aftermarket is abs, if you want it to last long use good paint products

polyurethane hands down. durable, flexible, and you'll need one hell of a heat flash for that thing to warp. if anything, if you mount it right, the heat will just warp it into place. lol.

Poly. For sure. Even those are not made to be unbreakable though, so be careful.
