I was really going back and forth about which one to order... the one I eventually got, or the GoMiniGo.com tow hook version you described. Being a "symmetrical" type of character that I am (i.e. boring and conservative), I went with what I got (Skene Design).

When I picked up my car a couple of years ago, I had a choice since the dealer didn't maim the bumper yet. The second I told them to drill, I absolutely felt gutted and regretted it. So when the opportunity presented itself recently to have the bumper repainted au gratis, I had the holes filled.
The license plate is held onto the bracket and never touches the bumper. I do have a couple of rubber bumpers that will help prevent metal-to-plastic rubbing if in case it were to come in contact, though. I also have the bumper clear-bra'd so if anything were to touch, it would only scratch the clearbra.
For those interested, this is the place I ordered from:
