Bars, Alarm, Both?

I received an email from a soon to be neighbor (welcome to Edgewood!) about companies to use for security bars on windows.  I have heard that a couple of companies are good, but I decided to go with an alarm system and not do any bars on my windows.  I know that some people feel more comfortable with one or the other or both.  I figured dogs and an alarm were enough for me (knock on wood)!

Here are the two companies that I have seen recommended:

Northeast Iron Works

J&L Ornamental Iron Works

Has anyone in the neighborhood used them?  Or do you recommend someone else?  I have seen one of the newly renovated houses on the 300 block of Bryant has installed an iron tree design as their security bars - art and security combined which is really cool.
