This is what I used:

They go on sale regularly for $69.99.
Note that they are intended for bending PIPE not TUBE. The two have slightly different external dimensions so it will not work well with tube (kinks the tube).
I used standard black iron water pipe for my bumper project - it is .147 wall, which makes it heaver than DOM tube of a similar size (.120 wall). It carries the same steel specs as HREW tubing and will carry a similar load. Don't buy all the stuff you hear about water pipe being brittle or crushing under a load - it is made to the exact same ASTM spec as tubing - it is just made for a different purpose. Note that there are different specs of steel as well, and that includes pipe. I've seen some that is not the same quality as others. Some looks and bends as good as any DOM while some I've picked up from discount hardware chains isn't as good a steel (which is what I used for the bumper hoops - some other pipe that I got from a plumbing supply house bent better!). Try to get some that is American made, and from an actual plumbing supply house. You will be pleased...
Oh, and for the dimples, this is what I am going to try...
Seeing as how they seem to come from the side rollers not rolling, but instead grabbing and stretching the pipe. That may be a factor of the size of the pipe I used (1" standard black iron pipe - which BTW = HREW .147 wall tubing... Most tube is only .120 wall, so this stuff is stout). It didn't seem to do it as badly on a larger piece that I tried (I also made a front hoop, but it isn't done yet. Pics later).
I am thinking of cutting a piece of larger DOM tubing to act as a guide in place of the rollers (well, along with the rollers) - so that this bender more closely approximates the true tube benders that use a tube sized guide (the tube slides through it instead of rolls over it). I propose to slit the DOM in half length wise to make a pair of C's that are perhaps 4" long each - and use them between the pipe and the rollers. THEY can roll - and my pipe should come out without kinks. I'll let you know. If it works, the main hassle would be holding everything in place before starting the bend, but I can also figure a way around that obstacle.
Ultimately, I am a happy camper because I can do some new things and I didn't have to sell the kids to get it done...
Oh - BTW, Harbor Freight also has some other things that I am using:
