Neither product gets along well with rubber bushings so be careful where you spray.

Also start paying attention to the body. I saw the corner of the front door jambs building up with dirt. Once cleaned I saw rust blisters that hadn't yet turned into holes. Filled it with FF but they require regular cleaning regardless. I'm seeing way too many 3rd gens with rotted lower front fenders. Also, the rear bumper step can be removed to get better access to the inside of the bumper for coating too. I'm sure you've already gone through a chrome rear bumper by now.
I haven't decided yet. Agree on the body. I am also getting rust at the front end of rear wheel wells at the bottom. Gonna hit that with POR-15 and also the POR-15 filler putty which looks good but I have not used.

The rust will be in between the pinch weld. There is a tiny tiny hole in the bottom of the pinch weld which will just allow a plastic paint sprayer straw in. I sprayed eastwood frame paint up there.

Edit: changed pinch valve to pinch weld. I have pinch valves on my mind...

The dogleg area. Common spot on damn near any vehicle. 2/3 of my 4Runners are trashed in this spot on one side. I’ve accepted no bodywork for some time so I got up in there with some Fluid Film with the holes in the rocker. Be careful how much you spray. Kolelt reported that if you spray too much then the drains can block and fill with water. Something to think about when using a paint or high viscosity oil. Fogging oil is another consideration.
