Here's a best to worst list:

Warn, Selectro, Superwinch, Dualmatic.

There may be others.

The Dualmatics were made in Longmont CO, they are not of Spicer origin to the best of my knowledge. I also have plenty of them if anyone is interested in parts etc, though most of mine are for jeeps. They stand up fine to the jeep power/weight, the broken ones I've seen are for the Dodge.

One thing to keep in mind though is the following. The point has been made that some folks are intentionally running the Superwich hubs vs the stronger Selectro(both of these are readily available) so that if something's going to break, better it be the easily replacable outer hub than internal axle parts. Superwinch hubs are lifetime guarantee so you get your new hub replaced at no cost. Carry the original hub with you so as to get home.
