Which Bumper?

I'm looking at replacing both the bumpers on the beast with something that will actually protect the truck. I've narrowed my choices to Reunel or Buckstop. The Buckstop Quote is $700 cheaper(includes shipping) than Reunel. I could pick them up if I go Reunel and they will install them. I'm looking at the Reunel with the grill guard and the Buckstop Classic. Buckstop is powder coated, Reunel is painted(whatever color I want) Black or matching. I'm looking for feedback on either of these units. Also looking for feedback on whether to go black or matching paint. Thanks!
