Still debating on cutting off the hoops and making it a single hoop or a flat top bumper, I know I will lose protection but what will look more attractive....?

I'm a fan of the single hoop. I don't have to worry about large animals jumping in front of me though. The hoops on yours don't look like their close enough to destroy your hood if you impact the bumper. That's what I would worry about with the older "damage multiplier" design's.
The question is, can you cut off the tube and make it look good when your done?
Nice looking rig by the way.

I have never found them super attractive either, but I would probably still keep the hoops.

Unless you drive in thick bush and there's no integrity issue, lose the hoops. In a wild animal strike those hoops would do little to protect the major components from damage. i.e., the radiator, pulley, pump, etc. IMHO
