    Both are good but I like the silcone just because of the choice of colors available for making custom jigs.

    They each have a use. The living rubber flares better than silicone skirts but is limited in colors. If I use basic colors like white, black, etc., I use the rubber skirts.

    Both work and I have no preference, but one tip: do not mix rubber with the silicone. You'll end up with a "goo" skirt.
