I have a Gorilla 2500lb winch on my 300 and I love it. It has held up great, every ride it gets submerged under water pretty much all day, and it never misses a beat. I would recommend the Gorilla brand to anyone who wants a good winch at a great price. I think I paid $110 shipped for it off of ebay.

I have a 2500 lb. Milemarker, and I love it. I've used it to pull many of my buddies out of mud holes and creeks, and it has done great. The price is right too.

All winches are close when it comes to performance and durability but if you want the best I would have to say Warn (you get what you pay for philosophy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] )

well i use my winch almost daily. and one the days it is used it's ALOT lifting a plow, so up and down. ALOT and it has bulled my jeep out of a snow bank among other things.
it's a Warn 3000 the new one. and i love it. i have had others but the silinoid or switches don't last as long. and they are not quit the same as a warn. But that is my $.02

I just ordered the Gorilla 2500 from the internet. $106 with a mounting plate and shipping included.

The Warn equivelant is $350 and you DON"T get a mounting plate and still have to pay shipping. The Warn is probably better, but at these prices I can buy 3 Gorillas and still be cheaper.

Maybe the Warn will outlast the 1st Gorilla, but I'm betting that it wouldn't out-last 3 of them.
