Default Grill Guard or not for Stubby Bumper?

Just like the title says, what does everyone prefer? I know the reasoning for it - protection. Others prefer it for looks as well.

I have the Bestop Highrock Narrow Stubby and a XRC8 winch with the solenoid mounted up top. The grill guard that is offered/fits my specific bumper is tubular in design with light mounts on top.

Here is the bumper AND guard ; http://www.quadratec.com/products/12050_1402_07.htm

The stubby has additional mount holes for lights but the grill guard adds 2 more. I already have a set on my windshield, so I dont know/think I'd add any more lights. The option being able to is great tho.

Wish I was able to find some other designs that would mount up the the bumper's pre-drilled holes. I like the big smittybilt stinger... or a LoD.

Anyone? I wanna know if I should get the grill guard or not. Do you guys prefer one or not? For looks more than protection?

Just wondering if it'll give my rig a new and different look, or if I'm not going to like it....

It's only like $100.
