Welded steel is the practically strongest - that's what the pro teams use - but either welded or bolted, the cage is only as good as the mounting points. It seems that bolted cages don't always have the same care and attention put into their 'feet', which could be what lets them down (not the means of attachment per se)
Am currently investigating cages for my Alfa. Current thinking is not to bother with a cage until I can afford to go the whole hog and have a proper welded cro-moly cage installed.
