Just a comment that "stronger" ropes are simply stronger per diameter. Most people don't want to max out the amount of rope on a winch. A cheaper/thicker rope to get the same strength may be more desirable depending on how many feet is needed.
I don't know about rock crawling. For recovery a couple times a year I wouldn't go above the price of good ol' amsteel blue.
My last big order was from masterpull. Comparing "apples to apples" their price was about as low as I could find without building the ropes myself.
I went with a moderate length on the winch and a substantial extension. By using moderate price rope I'm more likely to replace it if I worry about abrasion. The long extension can act as a replacement for a broken/damaged main rope.
