Default Most Functional Front bumper?

So I've been having a debate with a buddy about the most functional track front bumper available to the public. Curious to hear your opinion especially if you've owned any. My top three starting with most functional stands as

1. J's Racing Type S CF
2. Amuse R1
3. Mugen SS

I'm curious about the ASM, Ings+1, etc as well. I'm basing my choices off versatility, design, materials etc. I like bumpers that have a large undertray, brake ducts and scoops, canards available, and overall aerodynamic shape.

Those are my top three choices as well. I might switch the order between mugen SS and amuse, but I have J's on the top of my list for functionality. However, if it snows alot in your area, I think the Spoon Tai front would probably be the best .

Yeah I forgot Spoon, it's easy for me to forget that ugly thing!! The J's is really pretty awesome when you think about it in terms of functionality.

1. Canards with ability to run 1 of 2
2. Replaceable under tray in CF or FRP
3. Brake duct scoops
4. Engine Intake scoop
5. Aero benefits
6. Price is nice compared to others
7. Can be mated to a complete functioning kit
8. Doesn't hang lower than OEM bumpers

I'd say in a nut shell it's the ultimate bumper available for a track car. I personally like the looks of the Amuse and Ing's and ASM more though.

While I don't like Mugen products, the smiley face bumper is totally badass. I wish I had it on my car...

J's- I can actually feel more down force 70mph+ Only thing is now it feels like it needs more downforce in the rear (I am wingless) I had the INGS and it was the same as stock. It was actually lower than the J's.

I know that Mugen actually tests their aero parts in a wind tunnel. Not sure about J's or Amuse though. But, I love the look of J's Racing
