Tubs?

[loonunit]

I'm starting work on my very first DIY rack, and I went to Wal-mart to look at my tub options. I gotta admit, I'm paralyzed by the sheer quantity of choices!

But I think it basically comes down to Sterilite or Rubber Maid. Does anybody have a preference? And why?

Thanks!

From what I've seen, most of the rack manufacturers use Iris tubs. From what I've seen, if you build a rack around a particular Rubbermaid or Sterilite tub and need to replace some of the tubs down the road the new tubs may not fit due to design or dimension changes. Iris keeps the same design and dimensions for consistency...

Extra tubs for sure.
I have extras for my 28qt rack that has sterilite tubs, if I lose tubs due to breakage I have enough to replace all of them if need be.
