The bolt-ons are usually powdercoated, and the weld-ins are usually bare metal. Trackbird always says to buy bolt-on stuff, bolt it on, then weld it in. Best of both worlds 
I dont know about the 'give' situation though. Hmmm.

I don't feel any "give" in mine and they are constructed
with positive pinning to keep that from going on (the
tab that hits the shock mount hole stops pitch roll
and the one through the original LCA hole stops yaw
and roll, roll of the piece.
Bolt-ins are impossible to screw up, whereas every few
months here I see someone who's come back from a
weld-in job with something not quite right about the
geometry. If you want welded, buy bolt-ins and weld,
like said. That at least can't be screwed up, without
some serious inbreeding. <cue banjo music>

Another vote for the bolt ins. I don't know if they are any better or worse than the weld ins but, they are easy to install, they work, and you can sell them later if you go with a different rear.
