Which Bumper
I've narrowed it down to 3:
Off Camber
AEV
ARB
I'm looking for a heavy duty bumper that'll take a beating...Tell me if you have experience with any of these and why I should get a particular one. Thanks!

ARB hands down. Hit a deer... Oh well. Hit a tree.. Oh well. Hit a car... The amount of damage done to your vehicle is nothing compared to the other one every time. Personally I like knowing that myself and anyone else inside the vehicle will be perfectly fine and it just looks beastly haha.

I would say arb all the way. I have seen both the arb and aev in person. The aev doesn't look as good as the arb IMO and it is cheaper. The powder coating on the arb is amazing. All in all I think the arb is superior to any bumper. It is what I'm getting. I have no experience with the third one

I have *NO* experience, considering my Jeep only has 800 miles on it and my only mod was to turn the mirror upside down, but one thing to consider is whether you plan on replacing the fenders at some point in the future. IMHO the AEV would look strange with after-market fenders.

I vote off camber. If you want to go full width you may as well get one that smiles at you so that you have a better approach angle to your tires. It looks awesome. Mbrp is a great company.
The other two just don't do much at all for me. Don't like the way they look at all. Too damn bulky.

Of the ones you've listed, I have to agree with the majority here so far that ARB looks the best. As far as quality, I have no experience with any of them. So, I'm basing my opinion purely on aesthetics. However, these are all reputable companies, so I'm sure they are all comparable. FWIW my personal preference is the LoD or PSC Brawler Lite.
