450 TRX Heel Guard Opinions

I’ve just bought a Honda 450 TRX and want heel guards. As I search around there seems to be 2 style types: #1-a full blown heel guard that not only keeps your foot from hitting the ground but also goes up the back of your heel to protect from the tire hitting your heel. and #2-a guard that only protects from your foot hitting the ground. Seems to me that #1 which bolts on the frame in more places would be more durable because it is attached in more places.

Any opinions on this question as well as a brand choice for durability. I’ve seen Tusk, DG, and Pro Amour. Are there others anyone would recommend. All we do is desert riding and trail riding. no racing.

thanx from Colorado
