If I remember correctly from prior discussions about this(I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong), you will generally have no heat issues. Heat is generated only when you power out the winch, not when you are powering in or pulling. So, if you free spool the clutch to pull the rope out and then only power back in, you should not generate any significant heat.
I have no significant knowledge of this but remember being told by someone who I thought should really know, so I am assuming it to be true.
To compare ropes with the cable would be like comparing rubber tires to flinstone rock wheels. There is just basically no benefits to having the wire over the synthetic rope.
