Don't know about the bars but the SW-Motech pannier racks are more stout.

I have the Givi crash bars, and they are as stout as the others you have mentioned. The price I have found is 140.0 shipped. Look around..

There are several questions here.... To answer the first question: SW-MOTECH vs. Givi we have created an article: http://www.twistedthrottle.com/article/articleview/410/ Although this article was written to highlight side carriers I feel it also addresses the crash bars as well. For light duty the Givi bars are an excellent choice. For heavier duty I would always suggest the SW-MOTECH equipment first.

As for the R&G crash bars - They are offered for those who feel that the plastic bar is a critical component. There was a video circulating of an early S10 sliding on wet pavement and surviving rather well. The coverage doesn't travel as far "north" on the R&G bars as it does on the SW-MOTECH bars. Both of these are excellent coverage of the 3 crash bars available for the S10 these are the two we prefer for strength and durability.
