If they are gong to be forward facing, definitely go with a spot pattern otherwise the hood glare would be insane. If you plan on angling them to the sides, you could probably get away with a flood pattern.

A pillar windshield mount is for pencil-beam long-range spot lights, where you want and get distance, without glare. I use these lights much more frequently than others.
Fogs are best mounted low, so on bumpers.
Note, there's a huge variety and capability of aftermarket lights, some are cheap crap, others are more $ and give you a specific lighting pattern needed. With lights, you usually get what you pay for. I've had KC spots, Lightforce spots, Rigid combo pattern lightbar and Delta fogs -- all very different.

If I could start over, I would go with spots. My floods barely do anything up their, just a big scatter of light. Will be switching it to spots when I get a new bumper to put the current floods on it.

I have a 50" light bar that takes care of providing light infront of my jeep so I prefer my pod lights pointed out and downward to illuminate directly out the side of my jeep. Not quite ally lights, but to the left and right of bumper. I'm using spots, they work ok, but I wish I had floods.
