"mpg from 265/65/17 to 245/75/17LRR was about 5%"

But yes my main point is mpg is gained by reducing width and friction

They're at the stagnation point. Their function is to divide the air flow between external and internal. The effect on the external flow will be minimal. If there is a difference internally, it will...

Whichever one is cheaper, modifiy it. Neither one looks better than the other to me. If that's your truck then maybe sell the TRD grill and buy a stock one if there is a good difference in price.
