Default Which Tire Carrier?

I am struggling with what type of tire carrier to get. I like the Orfab but is it as sturdy and good as a bumper mounted tire carrier?

Does anyone have specific style or brand they prefer?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

My Or-Fab is plenty sturdy. I haven't had the first problem with it since getting it adjusted.
I like that it allows me to pick whatever kind of bumper I want.

I love my Shrockworks bumper and tire carrier. You get better backup lights. You get a license plate relocation with the new 3rd brakelight and license plate light alltogether. Plus it's modular and you can add jerry cans and a rack later.

You heard wrong. It isn't any harder than lining up anything else. You just have to drill a hole in the body. I did it mostly myself in my garage with no power tools, and it took less than 5 hours.
