FRP is probably the best I have ever seen around.

Urethane will withstand abuse much more than fiberglass. Like say you enter a steep driveway and catch your front bumper. If it's urethane you'll be okay, maybe chip the paint. But if you've got a fiberglass bumper, it will crack right up the middle.

However, urethane is a little more expensive than the fiberglass version.
