Default Superwinch LP10000 vs Warn M8000 winch

What would you go for? Both equally priced. What are the reasons on why you would choose one over the other?

Superwinch for the extra pulling power. Both are good quality units though

Think i remember someone saying they called superwinch and they are not made in US. Made in China i believe. Doesn't mean its necessarily worse, but certainly why they are cheaper!

I've used my m8000 for4 years with all kinds of work. Great when offroading, powerful pulls, more than enough for jeeps and trucks. Don't forget u can double your pull rating with a pulley block.
Go with the warn. It's lighter, crazy reliable and made in USA!!!
