I have the Smittybuilt XRC MOD bumper with the stinger. This set up allows you to run either a bull bar or stinger since they bolt on. As for accident worthiness I have had two head on collisions (not my fault) with that bumper set up and walked away without a scratch. The Jeep was not so lucky either time but they are replaceable. I was so impressed the way it held up the second time I bought the exact same set up. Also it bolts up without cutting or relocating the vaccum pump too.
I was pretty sure the factory bumpers were crap considering the 3 big dimples I put in mine doing light to medium off roading, but when I got the bumpers replaced and held one in my hands I was really surprised how little was there and how little they weighed
