I'd say go with the wire cable until you get a little more comfortable with the winch. Plus the wire cable comes with the winch, so why throw away a perfectly good cable?
After you become comfortable with winching, I would say to definetly go with the synthetic cable!

Thanks for the Input.

Ric's being modest. There's been a lot of posts about winching cables. His three sentences distilled the whole thing to its essence.

I have one for sale, make me an offer.

Used three or four times, excellent condition, multimount available too.

I have the 9500 TI and swapped the wire for synthetic rope mostly because of the additional weight of the wire. I have the multi mount and only have it on the front when I go off-road. The only down-side to the rope I have found is if you need to drag the cable across rocks or anything you run the risk of damaging or cutting the synthetic rope. You run less risk of this with wire and it will last longer if you use it a lot. Just bring the wire cable along in case you break the rope.

I'm curious what this winch set up goes for? I would like to keep one in the back of my work truck .

I found one at a off road shop for $1,258. If I bought it from the Dealer I was looking at over $4,000 dollars
