Seems like once a week there is one of these threads.

Neither will actually protect your truck much. A brush guard will guard against, well, brush. I went with a brush guard because I don't like the looks of bull guards. You'll have to base it on what you like the looks of.

That's what I'm trying to decide. I like the look of both. I drive through grass and brush quite a bit so that brush guard is most likely my choice.

Brush guard all the way. Bull bars are cute but provided little protection.
