Which Steering Stabilizer?
The best thing you can do is to get a relocation bracket from Woods, and add on the OME, Teraflex, or any other heavier duty stabilizer. You want the barket to keep it up and out of the way. If you just keep using the sock braket and upgrade the stabilizer you will probably bend it, or smash it after a few trips off-road.

It is better, but it would probably push him over his $150 limit since it is $87 more (comparing shipped against Northridge).
i'm going with off road only.

... I decided to bite the bullet and bring it in for a 'real' alignment thinking that something was off kilter with the alignemtn. ... My alignment was within tolerance, though I could probably use a new rear trackbar. Anyways he aligned the jeep to spec and I had to plead with him to add 1/8" toe. ...
Obviously, you need a new SS because your old one is damaged. But, if you're looking to find that nice, stock steering feel, a SS isn't going to get it for you--single or duals. I felt NO change in my steering feel after replacing the stock SS. I replaced it only because my stocker was bent. I decided on Teraflex because it is beefier, so my expectation is that it won't bend from the wheeling I do.
But, what you probably need to get rid of flighty steering, if that's what your problem really is, is to adjust your front caster (Stock it's 4.2° and not adjustable. Ideally, you want 6-7°). That will take front lower control arms (or cams, but don't let the mechanic do that--easily lose alignment when the Jeep is wheeled and cams can't be easily removed once installed!). For me, I put Teraflex LCAs on the front and reset the caster and THAT made a world of difference! For you, flighty steering should be an even bigger problem because your tires are bigger (35s vs 33s).
