I can't compare bedliner to plastidip but I have used both kinds of bedliner. The spray on stuff does have some texture. Its somewhere between regular paint and roll on bedliner. Just be aware that the cans don't cover as much as a can of paint.
The roll on bedliner seems pretty indestructible. I replaced my carpet with it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It's very textured and I guess you could say its like hard plastic but with a little bit of give to it. If that makes sense.
As for black with forest green I say go for it. My Blazer is dark green and the black looks great with it.

plastidip isn't hard or rough, it's rubbery. I plastidipped my grill and emblems and they're still covered without chipping or anything. The thing with plastidip is that once one little spot "chips," since its a rubber coating, it sort of peels away. However, it is possible to patch

Bedliner is made to take abuse. My rule of thumb is go with bedliner for functionality, go with plastidip for something "to show off." Your rocker panels are for function, so I went with bedliner. I used a gallon bucket of bedliner and had plenty left over afterwards. The roll-on stuff is bulletproof like mentioned above. Rocks, twigs, mud, it all comes off of bedliner from my experience. Just take your time. Everything is in the prep work. Use several layers of liner.
