Default need help deciding on a front bumper

I know there are a million threads on this, but it is so much for me to digest

and i have a super slow internet connection so it takes pages a longggg time to load

needs/wants:
metal (stock got hit a few times - many dents)
No winch mount
Stock fog mounting is a bonus - but not required
black or texture black
not over $500

Stubby or full size ok

i was looking at the rugged ridge, it doesn't take stock fogs, but if there are no better options i can live with it.

What about the new Mopar offroad bumper that now has the fog lights ? I would assume its metal but havent seen one in person.

chances are, the Mopar's gonna' be over $500... don't know for sure, but it seems Mopar is always really proud of their products.

Pure Jeep has a stubby front that takes the fogs here.

Rock Hard has a bumper that takes the fogs here. It does have the holes to mount a winch down the road, but it has the flat top so it isn't noticable without it.

Honestly in my research the Mopar is on the cheaper side for front bumpers at least. I havent found many under $500. The rears with tire swing is when it starts getting really expensive.

The D rings on the Pure Jeep are $100 extra and sold seperately, so if you figure those in then they both come out to be about the same. Northridge has free shipping though once you hit $100 so the price you see on those is what you will pay.
