Well never wanting to get stuck will never happen, even with a winch you get stuck... It just happens.

I'd say go with a lift..

Just lift and never wheel alone, then save for the bumper and winch. Thats the way most anybody does it. With more lift and bigger tires you can get more places to get stuck.

first... would be drive your Jeep stock and get a handle on what it can handle stock.

Then.. Lift it and drive it.. Get a handle it can do...

A winch shouldn't even be anywhere on the list of mods for a beginning Jeep.
