The steel rolls are the most popular on the larger pull-types and are the only option on the SP headers due to their longevity. The rubber works well too and should last a long time in a pull-type since the amount of acres is usually much less than what a typical SP gets. If you're planning on any kind of sudan grass or similar cane-type crop I'd recommend the steel-on-steel configuration as this will give a lot more aggressive conditioning to the thick stems. Either will work well in crops like brome or prairie grass even though roller conditioners really don't do much to thin-stemmed grass. In your climate (maybe I should say our climate since we're only an hour apart) grasses like these will typically dry down quickly when spread out in a wide swath, regardless of the style of conditioner. Some folks feel the rubber rolls handle rocks better but I've run lots of rocks through SP headers with no more damage than little dings in the angle bars.
The rolls themselves are the only difference between the options so converting a machine from one to the other is simple but not inexpensive.

The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
