I like the look of some of the fancy Stainless steel fenders, but they cost too much for my wallet, weigh a more, and and can still have some corrosion issues (stainless is not completely rust free. Any set of properly fit fenders will make cycling on bad weather days a much less unpleasant experience, but for my money the SKS's are my favorite on a good bike, and PB's get use on any low use/cheap bike.

Happy riding,
