Lightbulb I'm Torn

I'm trying to decide on what lights to get for my lightbar.. I'm torn between two choices or a combo of choices.
So some input from you guys is needed here and thanks beforehand!

1. Lightforce 270's with filters
2. PIAA 520 series - crystal ion fog and 580 driving lights
3. Put em both together??

Okay, I want a combination of fogs and aux lighting. That is the goal at hand.

So.. what do you think
I've been looking at the SierraExpeditions site and pricing 'em out. The choices are somewhat similar in price. The Lightforce do not come with a wiring kit but I don't care. I'll make my own.

I think the PIAAs look better but that is my opinion. I am ordering the 520 ATPs for my truck. Light Force are some very good lights and expensive.

Lightforce. Those things are bulletproof! If they would fit in the holes in my bumper I'd have a set. Smallest ones they make are about 5.5" in diameter. The PIAA 510's are 4".

Try this with the PIAA's.

Holy daylight!! That looks great! Any issues with current draw? Is your battery holding up ok?
