Casters vs. Movers Dolly

I'm thinking about adding wheels to my 22" WSM and have seen mods with both regular casters & the movers dolly. I like the look of the casters but wanted to check with the experts on which method was better. Any thoughts?
 
I keep going back and forth as to which I want to use. After seeing your pics Tony, I went to Harbor Freight the other day and got the same dolly wheels you did. For less than $4, you can't beat it. The only thing I don't like is they don't have a locking mechanism on them. But it will def be more stable with three wheels on each leg over one.
 
I find that the mover dolly's are easy to push around. I roll mine on top of a cushion type shield, so it doesn't move without lock wheels......................d
 
You can also see mine in Tony's thread.
As long as you're mainly running on flat surfaces, mover's dollies are the way to go IMO.
Keep in mind they don't have locks and roll very easily, so if you're dealing with any degree of slope or grade, you either need some kind of chock, or go with locking casters instead.
