I haven't seen any standard rubbers around on my stocking lists recently-only xantos, which are 100 bucks a pop, even at the wholesaler's.

Really? I have two species of Rubberlips on my list, both for about $1.00 wholesale. I think one of them is is just the common kind and the other is L187b (also a relatively common species).

By rubber, I assumed parancistrus aurantiacus, not chaetostoma sp. However, in retrospect, it does seem that the topic creator was probably referring to the latter.
