I'd be careful with the synthetic winch lines.  Those allow uneven pressure on the winch spool and it's pretty common to break the spool out of the winch.  Hard braided lines are murder on your hands but it distributes the weight along the entire spool....never seen a spool break with braided steel lines.  I've seen several break with synthetic.

Good question. I wonder if there is a difference in retrofitting older winches with synthetic vs new winches meant for synthetic. Could be...
