Default Which front bumper ?

I've been reading everything about front bumpers and I'm still not sure. I want a bumper that doesn't weight a ton. Uses the factory fogs. Shorty and has a winch mount. I prefer d-rings versus one that reuses the factory tow hooks. Am I picky or what. Please let me know your thoughts and what you have. Thanks...

I like the Expedition One for a basic set-up. D-rings are optional.

I just ordered the Rugged Ridge XHD bumper (I haven't got it yet). Do a search on here for some pictures.

I'm always worried about buying something like this and then thinking I should have gotten a the mid legth. Or I should have gotten the one with the bull bar hoop. Or I should have gotten one with the stinger.

The Rugged Ridge is cool because it's modular. You can turn it into a mid length by buying the ends. You can put a hoop on it or a stinger, etc.

Also the price is right at right around $300.
