I've also played the eAutoGrills lottery on a Smittybilt XRC copy. I say lottery because of the mixed experience folks have had with them. After about a year, it still looks great and is rust free. It also has light tabs on the hoop and I've moved the windshield lights to the hoop since taking this pic.

Under $800
Winch Mount (although I will not put one on till a later date)
Fog Light Mounts (not a deal breaker)
I would prefer to stay with a mid to full width
I really like the look of the Smittybilt SRC but have concerns over the quality
I also really like the N-Fab JK RWB bumper but have not found a single picture of one mounted up.

And last but not least, I do not do any serious off roading. The extent of my time off road involves getting to hunting camp on logging roads but nothing to serious.

Thanks guys (and gals) for any help!
I started with an Ace mid width because I felt it would be somewhat safer on road, vs the off-road benefits...

Loved it, never had any problems, in fact it's still sitting in my garage, both bumpers I mention are from Ace and have factory fog light holes and great winch support, I mounted a warn 10k winch first on the mid then the stubby

Then...I decided to upgrade to lockers and wound up going to 37" tires, and it was going to quite likely rub a bit and need some cutting!

I ordered the stubby version of pretty much the mid width which I really liked...I always liked the look of the stingers, but only liked it on the bigger and more modified rigs, after my overhaul I figured I could pull it off...

I think their mid width would be great for the type of driving you mentioned, as long as you don't go nutty and cram 37's in there!

I love this bumper, looks like it has tons of clearance / it's a lot less bulky than others.

ID:	520345 I have the SRC. Love it!!!!!! I have hit 2 cars with it (not my fault lol) and I hit a few deer with it. No dents no bending. Thing is sturdy as hell buuuut it's also heavy as hell. I have KC fogs on it.

I just got a new LoD front signature series mid width bumper that I'm selling. Still in the original shipping box and plastic, if you are interested.
