I have found one for $25 is it worth the cash for the protection of the tank or more of a pain and place for rush?

Gas tank skid plate?

If your truck never sees off roading than you wont need it but unless you go off roading and like holes punched in your gas tank, I think its a pretty good idea to have it. 
$25bux is cheap. There is a reason these trucks came with them from the factory.

They are notorious for collecting crap and causing gas tanks to rot out. You need to be super anal about cleaning them off, which is not easy.
If you do a lot of off roading I would look for a gas tank skid plate off of a CUCV. The one on my M1008 pickup is a flat skid plate that does not wrap up around the sides like the civilian one. Much less accumulation of grime and debris, and much easier to air blow and hose out.
