Have you checked out the offerings from Ironman?
for a D2a the best bar for offroad (best approach angle) is the TJM
I think for a 'city car' the ARB sahara is the go
Guy around the corner from me has an ECB and it is YUK!!!looks terrible. It may be an old version (still is a D2a tho) but fit and finsh are poo.

Peter,
If you are in the RACQ you get a 15% discount on ECB. So, that's about $300 off.
Ill post up later Smokey who is in at the moment getting a ARB Deluxe Winch Bar fitted....plus winch.....plus spotties. I negotiated with them based on prices ( for the bar....got the rest elsewhere) that I could get oversea's. Got them down to $1586 for the bar and $180 to fit. Could have had mates fit it...but easier to have them do it.

I think the ARB ones do have the asthetic edge over ECB.
But an ECB has the advantage of not having to upgarde your suspension. Which I like as the pocket will take a hammering if needed to do both within a short period.
I know a lot of people like the ARB, as they are steel and hence stronger, peronal choice I guess based on what u plane on doing withit.
I know last year when i bit the bullet and decided to get a ECB before a big trip, they didnt have any in stock, and wouldnt be ready before i went, not even a nudge bar was in stock.
I recall with ECB, u cannot but direct off them, must go thru a retailer, who adds on freight to the price.
Anyone know if u can get a discount in NSW for ECB like RACQ in qld?
The ECB bar is as ugly as sin.....no questions about it. I would and have...rather wait a bit longer as dependant on how long you keep your D2......in my case for quite a few years to come....I dont want to come out and cry everytime I see how ugly it has become.
As for strength......that has to be the major factor above all else......again why I chose the ARB. I want it to wear the damage....not the vehicle. So rather have that strength from the get go. One may save on a cheaper bar.....but end up costing more when it actually gets used,
Regards
Stevo
As a comparison, here is the ARB Sahara bar on our d2a
