Default Synthetic rope winch

Are they worth the extra cash? I'm assuming so but I'd like some input from folks who ran both kinds.

Also, I'm looking for a good vendor to get one from. Any suggestions? My new bumper is naked without one.

Synthetic is the way to go.. Way lighter. Easier to handle.. Not to mention the strenth

If it breaks it drops vs wire rope flying who knows where. Wish I had it. It doesn't like sunlight or moisture though.

Sunlight and moisture damage it? Is there a spray to help extend the life or would a winch cover be good enough?

In keeping with the winch questions..

How do you protect yours from theft? I live in a good area but everywhere I go (work, shopping etc) is pretty crappy. I work in an industrial complex so creepers are always around here scoping out vehicles.

That is one fancy screw. I'll have to pick one up when I decide on which winch to get.
