Chimney & Fireplaces/Light vs heavy wall liners

Question
I was wondering what your opinion was on Installing light wall liners to wood stoves or wood burning appliances. I am looking at all my options and have got mixed signals. The stoves that the liners will be venting will be used daily as i like in Vermont.
Thanks  

Answer
Hello Paul, all liners have crimped seams, but Ventinox, theirs is welded (I use ventinox and it comes with a life time warranty 10 year transferable even after a chimney fire).
others make a very heavy duty liner that would work well too, but I have never used it.
they should all work well for year with proper installation, use and maintenance.
