all those winches look pretty similar to me, would you be surprised if they are all made by the same Asian manufacturer? I don't know this for sure, but it seems a likely scenario. If I am in fact wrong, please show me my error.
If that's the case, they're probably all decent winches.

my friend bought the 3k lb one for his ATV. it failed when he needed it the most, when he cracked through the ice on a lake and the quad started sinking. luckily it failed when the line was all the way out attached to my quad so i was an anchor until we got flagged somebody down.
so things are good deals at HF (like the winch plate), other things (especially electronic related) aren't.
