Steel-It can be great, but it can also get expensive quickly at nearly $40 per can. I prefer having the bumpers powder coated if you have a decent shop that can do it for you. You might find that it's actually cheaper than Steel-It and you don't have to do it yourself :)
The Motobilt stuff I have seen has been of a much better quality than Rugged Ridge. Motobilt is typically going to cost more and you'll also have to have it finished/coated as they ship their parts in bare metal. IMHO, the added cost is worth it though as their products will take a beating.

Sounds like you were told both will ride better :) You're in the Vegas area, all the arms recommended are top tier. I'd assume there is an off-road club there. If so some of the members may have the control arms you are considering, perhaps you could get some seat time with some of them. Would...
Clayton, Metalcloak, Teraflex, RK are all good options for adjustable control arms. Currently running Clayton on the Gladiator. Had Metalcloak on my JKU, Metalcloak on my current TJ and RK on one of my older TJs.
Clayton arms are massively beefy and fit in style/color wise with the Gladiator a...
