I had a Ramsey 9000 on my 72 Bronco, worst winch I ever owned. I understand they make great commercial winches for the wrecker industry, but I don't think their consumer grade stuff is built to the same standard.
I messed around with the cheaper Smittybuilt stuff a decade or so ago due to the price and everyone raving about their warranty, well when I have to constantly use the warranty to have a crap winch replaced then I don't think it's worth it. I am sure they have improved since then, but they'll never get my money again. I've had decent luck with SuperWinch products, but I have always had great performance out of all of my Warn winches and that's why they continue to get my money. Warn would be my recommendation. Lot's of interest and hype in recent years with the ComeUp brand as well, but I have no experience there.
