I have been looking into two different bumpers, but now I am stuck. The first is the Nate's 4x4 recessed winch bumper:

The second is the Custom 4x4 fabrication winch bumper w/ tapered corners (about half way down) and eventually the prerunner guard or the full grill guard shown.

I love the nates, esp for the price. Also, if you look at the basic front bumper, one of the pics shown is the tie in so I know it is sufficient for the winch, although I like the tapered corners of the C4x4. My question regarding the C4x4 is how well the "bolt on shackle mounts" hold up and if they are significantly weaker than the welded through mounts on the Nates.
Also, does anyone have experince with either of them? I dont know how the C4x4 mounts to the unibody or anything so I cant compare that either. I searched but couldnt find much on the bolt on shackle mounts vs welded, which is my main concern, so any help would be greatly appreciated
