Rockstomper.com has the Amsteel stuff at a pretty reasonable price.

Phil,
You think with a 9500 lb winch you need to go with a 3/8" line? That's what I have on my multi-mount, but I'm think it might be overkill. The rockstomper site says that the equivalent width to the 9500 cable (5/16th) is a 5/16" rope line which is already stronger. Why go to 3/8ths? On the 9500xp you won't get 100' to fit with 3/8th rope. You'd have to drop down the length to 80'.
