Default ALNP (Another Lame Noob Post) - help me pick a bumper!

I'm replacing my current setup, stock bumper and Rieger lip. The lip is cracked and the bumper doesn't offer enough ventilation for the FMIC.
Here's the current look:

And here's candidate #1 - Rieger RS4:
<img src="http://www.lltek.com/images/riegertek/A402_rgr_rs4bump34_p.jpg">
Pros: Complements my Rieger sides/rear
Cons: Everyone and their mother has one

Candidate #2 - Kerscher:
<img src="http://www.lltek.com/images/kerstek/A4_B5_CFsplitter_PLUS_bmpr_KERB5_04_Z.jpg">
Pros: Unique, my wife likes it the best
Cons: Kinda busy, not sure about FMIC space

Candidate #3 - Uberhaus RSR:
<img src="http://www.lltek.com/images/uhaustek/uhausa4b5/rsr_sport_01_Z.jpg">
Pros: Good FMIC clearance, supposedly better plastics used
Cons: Not too crazy about the side vent design

Which one should I get???

Default Just have to be a rebel, don't u? ;)

There's a reason it's not a choice. It's too round to work with my sides. Also I can't reuse my current fogs with it. And truthfully I just don't like the look.

Oh, man, didn't know that. So much for choice #2, no way I'm getting glass front bumper.

No thanks. Too much trouble to get it to fit right and the A4 fogs still don't fit. Too much $$$.
