Curved looks better-
For function though a light bar above your windshield is only effective for blasting out a lot of light that's un-useful. and in some cases blinding. For added visibility you're always better off mounting lights low.

Personally, I ran the straight light bar. The brackets I ran from Inspired Engineering could be clamped to the gutter rail.
The only brackets that I know that are made specifically for the curved look require drilling and riveting into the bodywork.

Curved or straight is more up to you,But the light bar its self matters.You don't want a combo light pattern you want spot only.And the ip rating matters,IP67 is water resistant while IP68 is water proof.Most cheapo light bars are Ip67 btw.

Thanks buddy!
I liked them, but they were just heavy tires. Between those three, I think the STT Pros are the best bang for your buck.
