I've called or researched a few of these, so I figured I'd include what I've found or heard from folks on these. The main thing I wanted to find out was:
4 Wheel Parts - https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/4-wheel-parts-factory-bronco-front-bumper-61268w/_/R-4WPBR-61268W
$1200 + $400 for the winch plate
$1,965
$3200 + $1229 (for optional brushguard)
$2400
$309
$3500 MSRP (looks like you can get it for ~$3k or slightly less)
$1745 (no guard/light), $2020 (guard/light), + other options
$1699 w/o guard, $1799 with guard MSRP (cheaper links below via Northridge 4x4)

I spoke to ADD, Maxlider, and 4WP on the phone, all were responsive and helpful with questions. I similarly emailed with Lifestyle back and forth, who was real helpful with his experiences wheeling the Bronco near me and his plans.
None of the ACC brackets require recalibration according to folks I spoke with, but may require some fiddling with it to get it to work properly. It sounds like you have to "aim" it. I read some forum posts on the F-150 and Ranger that moved it behind the grill, some worked flawlessly while others had on again/off again issues with it. Bodyguard indicated you might have to go to the dealer to have it recalibrated or reflashed, but I doubt that's unique to them.
Most winch mounts that do not block the camera seem to reduce approach angle somewhat.
If I got anything wrong or missed any, let me know, I'll update the post.
