Depends on your budget and how much you would use it. Example trail rig or daily driver. Might as well spend some money on a good one instead of replacing it. Go with a Warn if you have the money.

as far as type of winch, the general rule of thumb is get a winch with a weight capacity of twice your vehicle weight. example truck weighs 3500 lbs x 2= 7000 lbs next higher winch is 8000 lbs. going to light and you can snap the cable and kill yourself or someone else.
