Default Need Bumper Help!!!

I'm looking at getting a new front bumper for my 14' JKU. I want something with a winch mount, factory fog light spots, and preferably a light bar. Ive been looking at the Barricade bumper from ExtremeTerrain, the Body Armor Mid-Stubby that's on Quadrate, and glanced at the Smittybuilt SRC which I like a lot but it doesn't have the fog light spots (picky I know). My budget is $500. If you guys could give me any ideas or feedback on these bumpers id appreciate it!

I have been looking to replace my stock bumper as well and was just about to pull the trigger on the Poison spyder... BUT quite a few of the people in our club are running the SRC stinger bumper from smittybuilt and have got into accidents with cars where the bumper had NOTHING but a scratch and the car... well.. to say the least looked totaled...
I know it doesnt have the cut outs for the lights but it does have pre-drilled holes for mounting whatever light you want on the corners (looks great with 2x2 cubes or 4in round LED) the winch is recessed and they look TOUGH....
just my 2 cents

I'm going with the crawler concept mid width. It's about 550 raw steel but you don't have to move the vacuum pump (saves time and money) and I think it's a clean good looking bumper.

Check out the Poison Spyder brawler lite! Ships bare steel but no pump relocation ( I believe ). I think it looks clean and simple...let us know what you pick!

I installed the Barricade bumper with their front skid. I like them and installed by myself. Had to widen the top mount holes in the skid a bit.

I had just decided that I would probably go LOD for bumpers, but those ACE sales look pretty dang good.
