Here are some more things to consider:
-I have had a cradle winch on my last three vehicles. I have never needed it on the front and never wanted to pull myself deeper into what is obviously bad terrain.
-A cradle winch does not effect approach angle because it can be removed from both the front and read, so it's not an issue.
-Cradle winches don't require a new bumper and you have less difficulty figuring out how to keep your winch at the time of sale of the vehicle, no stock bumper to sore in garage etc..
-Permanently mounting winch in the front requires new an alignment of front wheel and permanently makes ride stiffer, where you can take off the cradle winch when not in use ,or ride with cradle winch on rear if if there's no tire carrier back there).
That being said, there are advantages to both styles and disadvantages to both as well. The cradle winch is the best option for me.
