Default A Good Undercoating?

Not sure if anyone has even had to deal with this or not but.... under my car there are a few areas that will become bad news as time goes on. Along the floorboards where they meet the rocker pinchwelds its awfully crustybut no holes, and it just seems to be "crustier" than I would like on the K-Member and Rearend. I would like to take the time now to get serious about undercoating the car now while its in good shape. I plan on keeping it. Any advice on what to use? POR15? Basic Undercoating froma Parts House? Etc?

por-15. I used it to paint the complete bottom of my car, and it looks awesome. I got it in Gloss Black. The car should never rust after that.

POR-15 to neutralize any corrosion, then Dynashield spray, to kill the noise.
