I would strongly urge you to buy a fiberglass bumper UNLESS you are guaranteed of exact fitment with urethane. Once you have a urethane bumper there really isn't much you can do to change the shape and fit. Fiberglass bumpers provide a base upon which a good body man can build a perfectly fitting bumper.
Now I've had both. A truck tire recap ripped off my replica fiberglass bumper which had well over 50hours of fitting, cutting, trimming, and building up in certain areas to make it look like it was OEM. I was so ticked at how it held up I went and bought a urethane Border. Granted it doesn't fit nearly as well, but its also been through at least 2 tire incidents I can remember on the interstate and still have the paint in tact with only minor spiderwebs.
Urethane for daily use and longevity
Fiberglass if you want to spend the money and have a perfect fit.
By the way urethane takes just as much prep. They cannot just prime it. All the pinholes must be filled and re-filled until the bumper accepts paints instead of absorbing it.
