I really don't have any real recommendations for brand, but I would shy away from any where the winch is hidden. If a cable gets pinched you need to get at it so you can get it loose to unspool.

If this is the one you looked at, it is the same basic design as mine except I have a front hoop and larger skid plate

It appears to be an add on type of bumper. But 3/16" steel is plenty heavy enough. You don't need to make a land anchor

Bear what do you want to spend?

You should get that bumper... I picked up their stinger front winch bumper (https://www.affordableoffroad.com/shop/affordable-stinger-winch-front-bumper-jeep-cherokee-xjcomanche-84-01/) a while back, and haven't been disappointed... not to mention they got it out to me really quickly...
