Advice on Grill Guards

I'm the owner of an '06 V10 SD Lariat & wanted to put a set of grill guards on it to protect from any collision with a deer. I would like something heavy enough to be functional without detracting from the trucks appearance. I was looking at the one piece Westin and was wondering how it measures up against Manik & some of ther others out there. I have a dealer the handles both for about the same price, $725 installed. Are these two of equal quality or is there something better I should consider. Thanks.

Around here Ranch hand and Frontier Gear are regarded as top of the line. Lots of different styles.

look great but do the end bars come off. in nj they can be around the h.l. to pass inspection when you go.

mine is really 3 also two took out the bumpers the 3 rd triped and fell so it got run over and pan caked . just left my right side covered in blood and fir, but man the bemmer that was tailgating me sure got it big time when it came out from under me. plus he had a very funny smell inside it.
those plastic running boards cost as much as a bumper if you ever loose one.
