I mount my WARN to a front tow receiver. However I don't recommend this because it does limit the approach angle. I think the winch mount made by Cris is the best out there so far.
I don't see any feedback about a winch and the suspension. Hitting a pot hole with a 100 pound winch on the front is a lot of g forces, I would like some opinions of that issue.
What about security?

I've got an integrated winch bumper and brush guard on my front end and I don't lose any sleep over the weight issue. I use synthetic line which helps a bit. If I was worried, I would still keep the winch and tell my wench...I mean wife...to sit in the back.

I high speed travel I don't think it will have enough negative effect on the air flow to matter. At slow speeds in 4lo locked, when the engine does get warm, the air flow won't be affected at all.

Re: WHICH WINCH TO BUY???
I'll probaly get an integrated version, there are a few out there, so security is not really an issue there.
