I for one think winches are highly overrated and some winch bumpers limit approach angle and are just stupid heavy. It's also amazing how often I have been with people who have winches that don't work exactly when you need them most.
I use these three things and have never managed to get stuck to the point I could not easily self extract. The mechanical come along takes a little more effort but the flexibility and weight savings make up for it. I also almost never use any of these things. The first two would probably get you out of 90% of jams. If you are not stunt 4 wheeling you really don't need these things much. I would spend winch money on front diff locker or LSD.
Plus these things are super easy to transfer to other vehicles or put them away when not out on the trail. Unlike a winch and bumper which you have to drag around all the time.
