Default Jacking a C7-Pucks or bars

Gentlemen (and Ladies too),
So my C7Vert is in production YEAH!
I see there are some of you when Jacking a Corvette are using the "pucks" and some are using "bars" that are installed permanently. I guess the bars are harder to install-not sure what is required to install. Anyway, which do you guys recommend the pucks or bars?
thanks for your help,
Joe

No idea on the "bars" but jacking pucks the snap on plastic ones are a must have. Just leave them on!

I'm using pucks at the moment, but am planning on moving to the snap-in plastic ones.

The pucks are great, but not really great for leaving in constantly.

Why would you want to leave them in? I can't see driving around with "extras" hanging off my car especially when the only time I would use them is to jack it up which would be rare....
