Who makes the best off-road lights?

I am looking to purchase a set of off-road lights and am leaning towards purchasing Hellas or Pro Comps. Which housing material is best? Plastic or stainless? Pencil or Euro beam light patterns? I will be mainly using them while driving on remote roads at moderate speeds. Plan to mount the lights on the bumper and wire them into the high beam selector. Do they supply a wiring harness and is the install difficult? I had a scary near hit (3-4 feet @ 50mph) with a moose the other night. I could literally see her eyes (a cow) bulging out of her head as she passed by the drivers side window.

Thanks.
