I would definitely do bone broth with grain-fed bones over no broth, especially if you can it's the bones are hormone and antibiotic-free. The benefits of getting the gelatin and minerals is well worth it.
As far as recipes go, I like this one from Balanced Bites. It's really simple. Biggest hassle to broth is cooling it quickly enough to avoid providing a nice warm base for growing bacteria.
I fill my sink with cold water & ice and transfer the stock from the crock pot to a stainless steel stock pot and stir for a few minutes, then transfer to jars.
