crud racers or sks blades

Depends on how much clearance you have - you need at least 4mm between the tyre and brake caliper for the Cruds. I have both and prefer the Cruds if they fit - a bit more fiddly to fit, but feel more secure and don't damage the paintwork as much. The Raceblades move around a lot more - I had one wear a chunk out a brake caliper on a ride.

I have a set of the cruds, easy to fit (As long as you follow the instructions) look cooler than the SKS IMHO
I have the Crud ones, I have just taken them out for a day with the local CTC, and apart from a few adjustments (I put the bike in the car on the way there as I was running late). They were fine.
I had bought these a few months ago and wrote some stuff about them, I think they are pretty cool and certainly did what they said on the tin today - suprising how much slush is still on the backroads of sussex at the moment.

Edit: p.s. 23-25 mm tyres only.

I hate the cruds. Used some for a couple of rides and decided that I'd rather have a wet arse so took them off. One of my riding buddies used them and hated them too. Maybe they just don't work well with our bikes though, we both ride a Focus Cayo and clearance is tight.
