Real of thumb is try to go with a winch thats made here in Oz built for Aussie conditions. The cheaper overseas ones ie. the chines ones are generally exactly that cheap but if used correctly can do the job for the most part.
As for what size? Well that will really depend on your budget but bigger is better here so try not going under the 9500lbs make & anything above that will serve you well.
