Winches....synthetic vs steel

[Chutzell]

Hello wayalife. Going to purchase a winch for my 18 Wrangler Unlimited but before I do I wanted to get your thoughts on what people prefer. Is steel or synthetic the better option. Thanks for your thoughts.

Synthetic vs. Steel Winch Line Cable

I am looking to get a new winch, probably with a pulling capacity of at least 10,000lbs. Does anyone have any suggestions on which winch to use and run either synthetic or steel cable? I live in Southwest Florida if that helps. I thought that climate might effect both. Also, why you would choose...

Synthetic. Weight and safety.

Synthetic all the way but if budget is a concern steel is totally fine. Just use proper precautions when winching.
