Based on them being cheap on the rental, I can’t imagine what corners their shop will cut on the repair.
Deal with your insurance company now that they have taken responsibility, make sure it is perfect before you sign off on the repair.

I agree with this, except the "comparable" part. You'll only be driving the Spark for about a week- maybe you can pay an upgrade fee if your insurance doesn't help. I'd check with them, though.
If Progressive set up Valley Collision II, it's Run Forest, Run time. Pick the best shop you can find. It's the insurance company's responsibility to use them as long as the cost is reasonable. My opinion is most any shop can work it out. I'd make sure the bumper comes off the car and replaced if justifiable. Painted bumpers usually don't match the body color, but I would think you'd want to match the color of the front bumper.
Jeff, huh?
