Problem with the rubber mesh is if you get any grit in there eg, riding through rain on muddy roads, the rubber holds it and it will also eat through your paintwork pretty effectively. Best bet is both rubber mat and tape (tape under rubber) but depends how precious you are about the paintwork.

I did 1500 miles in bad weather through France with the sellotape method and suffered no damage or rub through at all.
