Hi Bigonion,
Firstly have you tried doing a search on here, I just typed in
winches to the search box and found heaps of posts with all the info you probably need. That may be why so few responses.
A bit more info might help get more responses too. What vehicle are you putting it on, towing a van/trailer or not. Total weight?? Where are you planning on going?? How often do you plan on using it.
The main brands are Warn, Ironman, TJM. There is also the cheaper models, Repco, Supercheap, ect..
We had a Repco winch on our 80 series when we did our trip and it copped a floggin and was great. Never had any trouble with it. Most
winches fail from poor maintainance.
Maybe do a search and narrow it down to a couple of
winches you think will suit your needs then repost and ask peoples opions on those couple of
winches rather than expect people to do all the research for you. I'm not having ago at you, I just know people on here find it frustrating when people ask questions with no apparent effort made to find the info them selves or not really enough info to make an accurate reply.
I could reccomend a 9,500 repco winch but if your driving a hummer and towing a 40 ft offroad van and plan on pulling both out of a deep bog, it ain't gunna work. It's not a reflection on the winch just the situation.
Hope this helps.
Josh
