Replace rear shock crossmember?

I'm installing c-notches right now and removed the shock crossmember to make it easier to work in the area. I'm debating whether to use it (it's in great condition) or install something tubular. I'm moving the shocks so I don't care about mounting them to this crossmember, but I'm also mounting bags to the frame and the bag fittings will be run through a hole in the frame, so clearance for that is a concern.
  • How do tubular crossmembers compare in rigidity to the stock crossmember?
  • I've seen universal tubular crossmembers (trim to find and weld-on ends) -- has anyone placed these in a non-stock location and is there any benefit to doing so?
  • Any specific product recommendations?
