Best Grill Guard

Who makes the best grill guard for the money? Black or Stainless.

Ranch Hand! http://www.ranchhand.com/ you can follow the link in my signature to see pictures. To testify how good they are, I hit a young mule deer buck on I-94. I was traveling at 75 mph when the deer bounded over the east bound lanes and over the concrete barrier. I was loaded with well over 2000 lbs including peole in the cab. I was going down hill and only had about 1 second to break before I hit him. The force of the deer hit caused the brush guard to tilt back and the headlight guard bent into the driver side fender. The brush guard didn't bend or warp, the mounting screws sliped in their mounting slots. Had I welded the guard, there probably wouldn't have been any damage. Also, the bug deflector which sits right behind the top of the brush guard flew off. I was able to complete the remaining 2800 miles of my trip and other than minor damage to the fender there wasn't any other damage.
