A lot depends on what you will be doing with the rifle , were you will be using it and what you will be shooting in it . If it is to be a toss around truck / 4 wheeler gun then the plain ( Pallet-Wood ) stocks will do fine .
If it is going to be in a high moisture area or a boat then I like the Syn. ( Tupperware ) they also lend themselves to adding a ton of extra weight if your goal is to load it to upper Levergun or even lower Ruger level loads .
I , myself like both as they take paint very well to add to my color skeem .
