Ive got there hydraulic winch (10,500 pounds) and it werks like a charm, but like you said its slow, Personally ive heard bad things about there electric winches word is there hydraulics are great but there electrics arent up to par
My friends got a 9000 pounder and hes blown it twice, now granted hes a moron and he dosent take care of his stuff but still my bro's warn winch takes a lickin and keeps on tickin
If your in need of a cheaper winch i say go with the hydraulic there worth every darn penny in my opnion and im poor so that should count for something
