lights and light bars

ok so i have a 1997 f150 and i want to get a 4 tab light bar and do 4 lights on it. anyone have any suggestions on a light bar and lights. would 2 floods and 2 spots make sense? i really don't know too much about lighting so all help is appreciated.

2 floods and 2 spots sounds like a good all around lighting plan

is this bumper mount or roll bar mount?

is it for looks?

ok so i did some pricing. The randy ellis one with chrome lights is about $100 less then the KC lightbar with black lights. Anyone know if one bar is better then the other. I am doing KC Daylighters for lights. anyone have pictures with either bar on their trucks
Thanks
