Sliders. I've put my home-brewed sliders to use more often than I've even scratched my stock bumper.

Plus your bumper is much easier to replace if you bust it than your sliders would be.

I've also had an aftermarket winch bumper, which robbed me of a good approach angle (never had an issue though).

What's the condition of your stock rocker panels and stock bumpers? Both of mine suck but I'd rather have a rear Nates bumper first. My stock one is rusting out and is reinforced with duct tape and bedliner lol. My rockers are rutting out from the rear but I don't do rock crawling so those can wait longer.

It's your Jeep, do what seems right for you.

Do you have any recovery on the front? Also the factory hooks up front are trash.
