Hella 500 driving vs fog

Okay so now that I have a rollbar and a bolt on prerunner style bar on my bumper I need some lights.

*bar mocked up with my reverse lights*

I saw a good deal on some Hella 500 6" lights w/ harness and switches.

I have room for 2 lights on my front bumper (pretty close together) and 2 on my roll bar ( farther apart)

These lights are available as driving lights and fog lights, questions is.. which should I get?

I was thinking 2 driving lights on the front bumper and 2 fog lights on the roll bar, would that be the best way to configure them?
Im very new to offroad lighting.

Fog lights need to be mounted as low as possible. So driving lights would be on the roll bar, and fog lights would be on the bumper.

i have those hellas and love them. i wouldn't even mess with the fogs and go with all driving lights. at walmart you can get them for under 6o dollars and that much cheaper then anywhere else.
