It's ok to use snatch blocks as long as they are new and never been used on steel cable. Not sure about the roller fair lead thou.

Snatch block with synthetic line is ok as long as it's never been used with steel cable as someone else posted. You will have to get one for a larger cable to prevent the line from binding inside it.

This is what I have. Works excellent.
