I'm a fan of installing quality, so Warn is what I went with. I have a Warn 9.5xp with a synthetic rope replacing the steel cable (weight savings). It's a strong motor and well proven, solenoid box can be mounted anywhere which gives you more mounting options. I purchased for around $985 if I remember correctly. When comparing winches, consider the motor output and gear ratio. The Warn 9.5xp is a quick spool.
