Chose Line-X about seven years ago due to it being a little harder compound than Rhino-Liner and not as slippery.
No problems.

We have had the last 2 vans Rhino lined, No problem with product, on first van applicator screwed up and didn't spray all the step and down and around the body on the side with the 2 doors. That area rusted out with in 2 years. The next van was sprayed properly, 9 yrs ago, still using daily.
I also would go with Line X

Line-X all the way down here!
We had a few customers the used Rhino lining due to their location and after a month, it was peeling off. This rig below was sprayed a month prior to us getting out hands on the truck to do the install. He was only carrying around airmovers and dehums in this truck before he had the Genesis installed, and it was already coming off in sheets!
It seems to be that Rhino really needs to applied by someone that knows what they are doing. Line-X however is more idiot proof due to the pressure and heat that it is sprayed on at.
The other thing I like about Line-X is as Bryan said above, it is less slippery the Rhino, and it forms a neater surface.
This is Line-X that I have computer color coded to match the exact color of the van. We have it sprayed 8 inches up the walls and cover the wheel arches as well so if you want to hose it out, you can, without any fear of water penetrating anywhere and rusting underneath. This looks very neat and professional!
Another thing you may want to consider it a mix of both Line-X and carpet.
We done this fit out with Line-X on the floors and up to the wheel arch height, and then insulated the walls and carpeted them to provide sound deadening as well. You can still hose this truck out without fear of rotting out the carpet. (you can see down the bottom of the walls, where the Line-X stops and the carpet starts if you look closely)
Or if you really are worried about rusting and corrosion.....
This was a second hand van of a customer of ours. The entire cargo area of the van, floors, wall and roof are completely finished off with industrial grade fiberglass!
May give you some other ideas....

Hey Bob...I used U-POL 'Raptor' 2 part tintable spray on liner...and did it myself...if you buy a 4 liter kit they throw in a shutz spray gun...got it in a bright canary yellow...materials were about $125 a year and a half ago...it's holding up well.
I decided to do it myself after getting a couple of $1800 quotes to have it done at a shop. It is a must to cover the ENTIRE VAN with plastic...and anything nearby that you do not want overspray on.
