I have a rear-loader also and have had no problems at all, very easy to use BUT I changed vehicles a year or so back and now have a dual-cab and Rhino rear loaders are not recommended for dual cabs.
The reason for this is that the rear loader sits on 3 bars and since the cabin and tub on dual cabs move independantly, this may damage the loader as there are 2 bars mounted over
the tub and one mounted to the cabin roof, sadly my rhino must go also

Another vote for the rear loader. I have a Rhino basket set up in between the rear two rails also, which carries all my light boating gear, very handy.
The boat when loading lifts over the basket easily and then slides forward.
With a side loader it would be impossible to have the basket fitted, or at least very awkward.
I think the side loader is also rated at carrying less weight.
