I went with the XRC 10 winch. Haven't had to use it yet, but I went with something to get the extra pulling power. Also, I have steel braid instead of the synthetic. The only difference between them was the price. You are going to pay an extra $100-$150 to get synthetic over steel. Otherwise the winch is the same. I also have the XRC bull bar bumper. I didn't get the wings to cover the tires. I love the look of it and it was extremely easy to install. Being a newbie to all of this, I am learning a lot.
