Vinyl for ridged metal bleacher treads

I'm producing 3' diameter floor graphics that will be applied to ridged metal bleacher steps (see photo). I'm wondering which would be the best vinyl out of these to use, or if there is another that would be optimal. I plan on laminating with a 5mil textured anti-slip.

General Formulations 201HTAPAE
Arlon DPF8000
Substance Icon 440LSE

I don't think the adhesion to the aluminum is going to be an issue, as much as using something cast that won't shrink, along with a textured anti-slip laminate that passes muster. Substance is a good choice, as is Arlon, though I'd probably lean towards SLX as it's thinner and would be less likely to get pulled up by dragged feet. I'm not familiar with any laminates that meet the requirements.
