When I was using my winch to retrieve firewood, I carried a lot of different lengths of 3/8" chain, from 10' to 30'. Chain is much easier to adjust the length on if it's too long. Cable is easier to handle, but you are limited to whatever length you have.
I prefer to have about one less wrap than the spool will hold on all of my winches. JH
