Up front, TJ.
Out back....doesn't matter since both will allow the same amount of fender trimming.

Nice thing about TJ flares is that you can actually meet up a tree or rock and walk away with the flare still intact, just with a few scratches or gouges in the plastic. meet that same rock or tree with a BW and you get to buy a whole new flare.
Either one vs. a rock and you will probably have the same damage. It's just matters how you mount them. My wackers are pretty stout but either way you can ruin them with one good slip into a rock or tree.

Here are a few angles of my wackers. 5.5" lift on 33x10.5 KM2's. They give a lot of clearance. Hope it helps.
