tuff stuff 9500 has never let me down, best warranty and cheapest that i've found
replacement parts are also very cheap
make sure you get a winch plate regardless of which brand you buy and practice with it before you go out on the trail.

I went with the XRC 8, it's worked great for the last 2+ years. If I was to buy a winch today, I'd get synthetic rope for sure. As my XRC 8 has been good & hasn't let me down, it's slow and loud. I like Warns, and they are becoming more affordable, I bought a cheap winch for my Quad, now I gotta replace it and buy a new winch & it'll probably be a Warn....
